Summary: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 instructs the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to study “the use of agreements providing for arbitration of any future dispute . . . in connection with the offering or providing of consumer financial products or services,” and to provide a report to Congress on the same topic.

Our experts discussed the report and its implications. -- Featuring: Mr. Deepak Gupta, Founding Principal, Gupta Wessler PLLC and Mr. Andrew J. Pincus, Partner, Mayer Brown LLP.
