WEBINAR DETAILS
Financial institutions routinely face lawsuits
involving deposit accounts, yet many losses stem not from bad facts, but from
avoidable operational and compliance mistakes. Whether responding to
garnishments, subpoenas, levies, account ownership disputes, forged checks,
unauthorized transactions, or account freezes, seemingly small errors can
result in substantial financial losses, regulatory scrutiny, and costly
litigation. This practical webinar will examine ten of the most common mistakes
financial institutions make in deposit-related litigation and, more
importantly, how to avoid them. Participants will learn how courts analyze
deposit disputes, where institutions most often get into trouble, and what
policies and procedures can reduce legal exposure.
