Miller & Martin has assembled a Financial Reform Act Task Force to keep the marketplace apprised of key issues surrounding the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The multi-disciplinary Task Force is comprised of attorneys from across the firm's practice areas who are focused on analyzing this historic legislation and communicating the significant business implications for financial institutions and other companies nationwide that will surely arise out of the new law.
“Financial institutions of all types and sizes and other businesses must prepare to adapt to this shift in U.S. banking, capital markets, insurance, corporate governance, and consumer protection. This law and the implementing regulations that will follow will make fundamental changes in the operation of both depository and non-depository financial institutions,” said Wayne Hood, Of Counsel with the firm and co-leader of the Task Force with firm Member, Lance Bridgesmith.
"We are drawing on strengths in many areas of the firm so that we can assess and quickly communicate the critical implications for our clients.”
Miller & Martin's Task Force draws from multiple practice groups, including general corporate, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, securities, and financial institutions.
The attorneys will be tracking various aspects of the law as the rulemaking process evolves, and the team will educate clients through alerts, webinars and seminars focused on specific areas of the legislation tailored to the interests of individual client groups.
Task Force members include attorneys Alison Boyer, Lance Bridgesmith, Clint Cromwell, Katie Edge, Dan Elrod, Tyler Hand, Clif Henry, John Henry, Wayne Hood, Kevin Kennealy, Mike Marshall, Scott McGinness, Drew Oldham, Hugh Sharber, Beth Sims, Adam Smith and Sarah Tally.
