Legal demands are increasing. Is your team prepared?

Financial institutions regularly receive garnishments, tax levies, subpoenas, warrants and other legal process requests. Responding correctly requires more than simply following the instructions on the document.

Frontline staff, operations teams and compliance professionals need clear procedures for identifying the type of legal process received, determining institutional obligations, protecting customer information and responding within required timeframes.

This practical webinar provides a framework for evaluating, documenting and responding to common legal orders while managing regulatory obligations, customer privacy and institutional risk.

Presented by:
Chris Van Dyck, Cogent Law
Erin O'Donnell, FI Learning Group

Chris Van Dyck of Cogent Law and Erin O'Donnell of FI Learning Group will walk participants through common legal process challenges—from deciphering vague subpoenas to navigating customer privacy requirements under the Right to Financial Privacy Act, GLBA and related requirements. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of institutional obligations, risk mitigation strategies and practical procedures for protecting both the financial institution and the account holder.
