London – December 7th, 2010
New York – December 9th, 2010
Sidley Austin LLP invites you to attend a briefing which will explore and highlight the consequences for international financial institutions resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act, changes to the EU regulatory regime and Basel III, including:
- New rules on proprietary trading, OTC derivatives, securitization and investment advisers
- Special challenges for “systemically important” financial institutions
- Proposed changes to the supervisory framework
- Expected changes in capital, liquidity and leverage requirements
The Credit Crisis has changed the business and regulation of international banking. Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, changes to the EU regulatory regime and Basel III will present new challenges and opportunities for international financial institutions that anticipate and adapt quickly to the new requirements. We will focus on specific responses to these challenges and ways to access strategic opportunities.
