January 26 Webcast: A Survey of the RMBS Litigation Landscape

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 11:11 AM PST

The fallout from the collapse of the U.S. housing market is far from over.  Institutional investors worldwide have suffered losses on purchases of toxic residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) that were, in many cases, sold by Wall Street investment banks based upon false and misleading disclosures.  These alleged securities law violations have already resulted in a wave of investor litigation in state and federal courts throughout the country.

This webcast will dissect the RMBS litigation landscape, addressing the origination and securitization process, the litigation claims and defenses in these cases, the litigation scorecard thus far, and the potential exposure for the banks.  The discussion will feature a panel of experts deeply versed in this area:  Senior industry analyst Joshua Rosner, who has advised regulators and institutional investors on housing and mortgage finance issues; noted author and litigator Talcott Franklin, the author of the Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities Litigation Handbook, who has handled myriad cases related to the sale and securitization of commercial, franchise, and residential mortgage loans; BLB&G partner and moderator Gerald Silk, who is representing numerous institutional investors in RMBS related actions; and a noted defense attorney who is advising and representing investment banks and originators in these litigations.

This free webcast is scheduled for Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 2 p.m. Eastern. To attend, please register below.
