WEBINAR DETAILS

Every day, financial institutions face a growing wave of legal demands, and each one requires a precise, timely, and compliant response. Whether it’s a subpoena seeking confidential account records, a garnishment freezing consumer funds, or a tax levy issued by a government agency, your frontline and back-office staff must be prepared to act swiftly, legally, and confidently.

Financial institutions are entrusted with safeguarding consumer information and protecting their assets. But what happens when that duty is challenged by a court order or legal process? There are exceptions and they are narrow, technical, and full of risk. From state privacy laws to federal regulations, nearly every rule demands confidentiality and fiduciary care, until an authorized exception applies. Join nationally recognized financial services attorney David Reed and learn how to protect your institution, stay in compliance, and walk away with clear steps, real examples, and essential tools you can use immediately.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This session is designed for executives, managers, deposit operations staff, comptrollers, branch managers, collectors, call center staff, back-office staff, internal auditors, compliance officers, and anyone involved in the receipt and processing of garnishments, levies, and subpoenas.
