From Risk to Resilience: Building Stronger Third-Party Compliance Programs
Legal Learning Webinar
Third-party vendors—especially process servers—are facing rapidly evolving oversight expectations driven by new state requirements and increasing litigation. In this 60-minute CLE-eligible webinar, our panel will break down what’s changing, what it means for law firms, and how to strengthen third-party compliance programs with practical, risk-based controls.
Join Brit Suttell, shareholder and member of Barron & Newburger, P.C.’s Consumer Financial Services Group and Shannon Williams of DRIA Compliance, the founder of TheControList and Leucadias, for this timely and essential webinar for today's legal community.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of:
• New laws targeting service of process;
• Continued shifts in regulatory oversight of the financial services industry;
• How to reduce their risk (both regulatory and litigation) by increasing the vendor oversight processes; and
• How the Committed to Security Program (CTS) can be leveraged to assist law firms in reducing their risk.
CLE PENDING STATE APPROVAL
CLE Information
National Creditors Bar Association is a national provider of legal educational content. NCBA’s goal is to provide its members with as many opportunities as possible to earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits. Some NCBA webinars state that they are pending approval. If a webinar is pending approval, it means that NCBA’s education staff is awaiting confirmation of approval for CLE credit from the accrediting body of a particular state; it should be noted that individual states have different response and approval rates. NCBA expects that the course will be approved for the credit amount and type listed, but approval is not guaranteed. An attorney can still take the course at their own discretion, though.
It is not uncommon for a course which is pending approval to not be approved until after the webinar has taken place. Once an official decision notice arrives from the state, NCBA will notify attorneys who have completed the course as soon as possible via email, and will re-issue any certificates of completion to reflect the updated state reporting numbers. However, it is recommended that attorneys do not view webinars that are pending approval close to their CLE deadline, as NCBA cannot guarantee that a course will be approved in time.
National Creditors Bar Association will seek MCLE accreditation, with the assistance of the ABA MCLE, for this webinar. NCBA will seek General CLE credit hours in 60-minute-hour states, and in 50-minute states, subject to each state’s approval and credit rounding rules. States typically decide whether a program qualifies for MCLE credit in their jurisdiction 4-8 weeks after the program application is submitted. For many live events, credit approval is not received prior to the program. A link for CLE requests will be provided to webinar attendees who have met the attendance and engagement requirements.
