WEBINAR: Consumer Protection 2.0 — C&M's First 100 Days Series

Webinar | 01.05.17, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST

Register

The incoming administration promises big changes to federal consumer protection administration and enforcement. Join members of Crowell & Moring's Advertising & Product Risk Management Group as they discuss likely changes on the horizon to the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

What can we expect to see with new commissioners? How will the newly reconstituted agencies manage ongoing legal battles affecting their jurisdiction that carry over from the Obama Administration? Our team will engage in a discussion highlighting our predictions and possible outcomes that will drive consumer protection enforcement and litigation for the next four years. We will highlight where the government is likely to pull back, and where it may stay the course.

Key topics:

  • The FTC’s and FCC’s new majorities and what that portends for privacy and data security enforcement.
  • The uncertain future of Net Neutrality.
  • Will there be a CFPB by 2018 and if so, what will it look like?
  • What will the FTC focus on in 2017 and beyond?
  • The (likely) rise of the state AGs.
  • Into the breach: will private litigation fill the gap?

Christopher Cole, Peter Miller, and Kristin Madigan will be conducting this webinar.

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.
