Federal Consumer Protection Turns Blue

Webinar | 02.24.21, 7:00 AM EST - 8:00 AM EST

The balance of power at the FTC, FCC and CFPB is shifting with the new administration. This may bring different consumer protection enforcement priorities. In this seminar, we will offer predictions about what to expect in the next two years as these changes take place. Panelists will discuss:


  • How will the new democratic majority at the FTC alter consumer protection enforcement priorities and strategies, if at all? What might a Supreme Court ruling striking down the FTC restitution policies under Section 13(b) mean to agency enforcement?
  • Will privacy and data security again dominate the FTC agenda? If so, what can we expect?
  • Will the FCC turn 180 degrees yet again by reinstituting net neutrality? Can it? And, if so, what might that mean for the Internet?
  • Will the CFPB roar back to life with new and aggressive enforcement in the consumer financial arena?

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
