Summary
Two legal staff members from the New Hampshire Banking Department attended a multi-day banking law workshop at Boston University School of Law. The workshop covered topics including bank regulatory structure, examination, enforcement, capital regulation, and fintech. No new regulatory requirements or changes were announced.
Two members of the New Hampshire Banking Department’s Legal Division attended the “Fundamentals of Banking Law” workshop and lecture program recently at the Boston University School of Law.
Hearings Examiners Catherine Davidow and Josh Hipps attended the multi-day workshop, which offered intensive instruction, insight, and dialogue on all subjects relating to bank regulatory law.
“The deep dives into nuanced areas of banking law including Bank and Financial Holding Companies were really useful for my day-to-day working knowledge,” Hipps said. “The networking and side conversations with the instructors who have long experience in the field was really useful in understanding the nuances of some the issues facing financial organizations.”
The program was led by notable figures in banking law, including Scott Alvarez (former General Counsel to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) John Buchman (former managing director and regulatory counsel at Charles Schwab & Co.), Hugh Conroy (partner at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP in New York), and Kevin Handy (Director of the Graduate Banking Program at BU and recently named Boston’s Financial Services Lawyer of the Year 2026 by Best Lawyers).
Subjects explored included the bank regulatory structure; chartering; bank holding companies and concepts of control; examination and supervision; enforcement; mergers and acquisitions and the application process; financial statements; capital and liquidity regulation; restraints on lending; affiliate transactions; deposit products; privacy, cyber, and data security; prevention of money laundering and terror financing; regulation of fintech; bank failures and orderly resolution; and ethical issues facing lawyers representing bank institutions.
