President-Elect Trump’s transition website promises to “dismantle the Dodd-Frank Act and replace it with new policies to encourage economic growth and job creation.”  To help our clients keep up with the reorientation of the financial regulatory framework, Davis Polk is launching a new blog, FinRegReform.com.  Our most recent entry on the blog is our memorandum on Rep. Jeb Hensarling’s (R-TX) Financial CHOICE Act, introduced earlier this year, which we view as a starting point that signals a potential general direction of travel for financial reform.  It is not the end, however, as we expect that the Republican Congress and Administration will have more ambitious plans for changes to the regulatory framework, and complex negotiations both within the Republican Party and with Democrats will further shape the ultimate result.  The first post on our blog describes, in more technical detail, how a regulatory rollback might work. 

If you have any questions regarding the matters covered in this publication, please reach out to any of the lawyers listed below or your usual Davis Polk contact.
