Dodd-Frank Act Client Alerts

President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), perhaps the most far-reaching overhaul of the U.S. financial oversight regime since the 1930's. The enactment of this legislation marks the commencement of an intense period of regulatory activity. The new law requires action by nearly a dozen regulatory agencies and calls for hundreds of rulemakings and dozens of new studies.

We will continue to monitor the progress of these reforms over the coming months and will provide you with updates of any significant developments.

For more information about the Act, please see the following Dewey & LeBoeuf Client Alerts:
