State and federal compliance is always top of mind for auto lenders, and during a pandemic it is more crucial than ever to stay ahead of changing state regulatory risks.

The second session of the virtual 2020 Auto Finance Risk Summit, sponsored by defi Solutions, will be led by Michael Benoit, a partner at Hudson Cook, and McGlinchey member Mark Edelman, who will discuss strategies lenders can adopt for stronger federal and state regulatory compliance.

“Regulatory Risk Roundup,” the second webinar in a three-part series, will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at 1 p.m. ET. Registration is free for the webinar.
