In the latest episode of the AFSA Extra Credit Podcast, we talk with Andrea Cottrell, Associate with Hudson Cook LLP. Andrea works with financial service providers on compliance with federal and state regulations and consumer protection laws, including those laws enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, and other federal agencies. She regularly counsels clients on the manner in which they market to and communicate with consumers.
We talk specifically about advertising – what are some of the right things and wrong things to do when you’re making your community aware that you’re available to help? What compliance burdens should you be thinking about both for your business and with the vendors with which you work.
