Safe Harbor for Colorado Banks
Financial Institutions Subsection CLE Luncheon Series
Program Description:
Learn about The Colorado Credit Agreement Statute of Frauds (The Most Powerful Banking Legislation Ever!). If It's Not in Writing, It's Not Evidence (maybe). The Colorado Supreme Court recently heard argument regarding the breadth and extent of CCASOF. A decision is expected any day. Be ready for this decision when it is issued.
And if CCASOF isn't enough, what about the Banker's Privilege? Bank deliberations can be protected from intrusive and inappropriate discovery. And because it's a privilege, it can be asserted early. Learn why every bank attorney needs to be familiar with the Banker's Privilege in Colorado.
Don't Forget: The Financial Institutions Luncheon Series is also available via live Internet webcast, direct to your desktop!
Please Note: The Financial Institutions Subsection is co-sponsoring the March 6 half-day program on UCC Article 9 Security Interests so please mark that program and date on your calendar. The Subsection will NOT have a March Lunch and Learn CLE on March 20.
