Event Highlights:
Led by expert in-house counsel, key governing agencies, top firms, and renowned judges from across the nation, this is the only event that will fully prepare you to manage and defend against lending, servicing, and foreclosure litigation, and keep you ahead of the curve in regards to increased enforcement efforts and the evolving regulatory paradigm at both the state and federal level.

The industry is bracing itself after the CFPB turned its complete attention to residential mortgages, and their enforcement of this regulatory overhaul is expected in 2014. The coming year is going to bring a wave of new litigation, comprehensive regulations, and enhanced enforcement efforts. In addition, the industry continues to be faced with scrutiny over implementation of the AG settlement, allegations of foreclosure documentation errors and “robo-signing,” and an extremely active class action litigation landscape including Fair Lending, Forced Place Insurance and HAMP claims. It is more critical than ever for in-house and outside counsel to remain up-to-date on new and emerging borrower and investor claims as well as increased state and federal regulatory and enforcement initiatives.

In direct response, American Conference Institute is pleased to announce its 12th National Forum on Residential Mortgage Litigation & Regulatory Enforcement.
