Our partner Peter Malyshev checks in this week from Spain, where he is attending the first in-person International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) annual general meeting since the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent weeks, Peter also attended the first in-person Futures Industry Association Law and Compliance (“FIA L&C”) annual conference in Washington, D.C., along with a number of other Cadwalader partners.

In many ways, things are really getting back to normal. In the financial regulatory space in the U.S. and the UK, that means increased guidance on crypto and ESG, along with continued attention to more traditional areas of focus, including new legislation (or calls for legislation) and CFPB activity on fair lending. We also take a bit of a deeper look this week at the interagency proposal on Community Reinvestment Act rules. 

So how do you feel about where things are right now? We’d love to hear from you. Just write to us here.
