In this episode, host David Baris is joined by Troutman Pepper Partners Lori Sommerfield and Chris Willis to discuss changes in fair lending regulation and supervision that represent new challenges to banks and their directors and officers. They are co-authors of the Practical Handbook on Fair Lending for Bank Directors and Executive Officers, 2nd Edition.

Lori and Chris identify the important changes that have occurred since the Handbook’s first edition in 2016, including more regulatory emphasis and actions relating to redlining, disparate impact, and redefinition of the statutory term “fair” to include discrimination.

At Troutman Pepper, Lori and Chris represent banks, bank directors, and other bank officers in fair lending compliance, enforcement, examinations, and litigation.
