A panel of experts – including law professors and corporate law attorneys – talked about the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act at a symposium called “Ten Years After the Dodd-Frank Act: Looking Back and Looking Forward: Part 1: Past is Prologue” sponsored by the Rutgers Center for Corporate Law and Governance.

The Oct. 28 panel was a first in a series of three seminars. The next session will be "Reform of Reform:  After Dodd Frank, What Comes Next?"  and the third and final program will be "Innovation in Financial Services." The Series has been underwritten by Bruce A. Ortwine, RLAW '81, General Counsel, Americas, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings, Inc., and a member of the Advisory Board of the Center for Corporate Law and Governance.

The panel included: Jarryd Anderson, RLAW '11, Vice President and Senior Counsel, Wells Fargo & Co.; Thomas C. Baxter, Jr., Of Counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell, and former General Counsel and Executive Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; James P.
