- Course Aims:
This podcast aims to give the listener a comprehensive overview of the provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that are relevant to non-US banks. Anna Pinedo, a partner in the New York office of Morrison & Foerster, summarises the key areas of the Dodd-Frank Act and looks at the concept of systemically important financial institutions and the mandated studies currently in progress that may have an effect on banks. In particular, the podcast considers how non-US institutions are likely to be affected by the changes and how practitioners can prepare for this. The podcast also clarifies the different categories of institution and the provisions that apply to them respectively. Ms. Pinedo discusses the Volcker Rule and the concept of a nonbank company and permitted activities under the rule. Finally, the rules relating to derivatives and the Lincoln Provision is discussed, before comparing the EU and US regimes.
