Hedge Funds: Capital Introduction After Dodd-Frank
In the aftermath of the recent financial crisis, Congress and the Obama administration have overhauled regulation of the nation's financial industry. Financial institutions, investment banks, insurance companies, corporations and other organizations will all feel the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Thompson Hine invites you to hear firsthand from legal and industry professionals as they scrutinize the meaning of the new legislation and discuss the implications for your organization, including technology requirements and the effect on your IT practices. The risks are too great to ignore!
