With regulatory implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 well underway, the Dodd-Frank Manual Series is a way for counsel and their corporate clients to gain a deep understanding of the implications of these regulatory changes on the banking, securities, and financial services sectors.
The following are the first two titles in the Dodd-Frank Manual Series which are available now and priced at $99 each (with quantity discounts available).
- Depository Institutions: Title III
This book offers a comprehensive discussion of the new supervisory scheme arising as a result of the abolishment of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the transfer of its powers and authorities for oversight of savings associations and savings and loan holding companies to the Federal Reserve Board, Office of the Controller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

New requirements that are discussed at length include registration with the SEC, recordkeeping and reporting obligations, state regulation of mid-sized advisers, qualified client standards and net-worth thresholds for accredited investors.

On March 8, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation by an overwhelming, bipartisan vote (390-23) creating an “on ramp” for companies to go public, authorizing crowdfunding, reforming SEC Regulations D and A, and raising the 500-shareholder threshold for private companies and community banks. (“Crowdfunding” is the use of the web or another online tool to get a group of people to finance a particular project.)
This 15 page Special Report by Wolters Kluwer Principal Analyst, Jim Hamilton, J.D., LL.M., entitled, “House Passes JOBS Act with IPO ‘On Ramp’ and Crowdfunding,” provides a very timely and insightful discussion and analysis of this bill. The paper includes a link to the full text of H.R. 3606.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, H.R. 3606, would reduce the costs of going public by providing companies with a temporary reprieve from SEC regulations by phasing in certain regulations over a five-year period, thus enabling smaller companies to go public sooner. H.R. 3606 would also remove an SEC regulatory ban preventing small businesses from using advertisements to solicit investors. The measure also removes SEC restrictions that prevent crowdfunding so entrepreneurs can raise equity capital from a large pool of small investors. These and all other aspects of the Act are discussed in the report.

“Antitrust Enforcement Talks,” a new enhancement to the Trade Regulation Reporter and the Antitrust & Trade Regulation Integrated Library on IntelliConnect, provides text of more than 500 speeches and written testimony by antitrust enforcement officials from the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division, from the year 2000 to the present. New speeches and testimony will be added to the publication as they are presented.
The official documents are displayed by Agency (Department of Justice Antitrust Division and FTC), by Topic (Acquisitions and Mergers, Advocacy, Agriculture, Banking, Criminal Enforcement, etc), and by Year (from 2000 to 2012). The documents are searchable and browseable and include thousands of links to the Trade Regulation Reporter and Antitrust Law by Areeda and Hovenkamp. There are even more crosslinks to cases and statutes in Loislaw. The new publication is located on IntelliConnect in the Antitrust & Trade Regulation practice area, directly below News & Current Awareness.
The display of regulations in the Federal Banking Law Reporter on IntelliConnect has been enhanced with indents and boldface headings that make them much easier to read.
With the dramatic increase in regulatory activity arising from the financial crisis, the regulations of the federal agencies governing banks and thrifts have grown in volume, length and complexity. The new format of the regulations distinguishes different regulation levels so users can easily navigate long, complex regulations with numerous subsections.
