TITLE:
"Marketing Services Agreements: To Proceed or Not To Proceed? – the information you need to decide."
TOPIC DESCRIPTION:
You’ve read the headlines. In recent months, the CFPB has been active in initiating enforcement actions in this area and appears to take a more restrictive view of what is permissible than was commonly believed. Now, more than ever, anyone entering into an MSA will need to exercise extreme caution. You see that some are participating in these relationships. You may not understand why your company has chosen not to engage in such agreements. This is a discussion you don’t want to miss!
Attorney Rick Accomazzo, who has advised clients on RESPA issues for over 30 years, will discuss the risks and benefits of these agreements, in light of the latest guidance from the regulators.
