Debanking—closing accounts or refusing to open accounts for customers perceived to be high risk—has become a hotly debated topic in recent years among groups on both sides of the political aisle. The debate involves allegations that banks have improperly debanked customers for political, rather than risk-based, reasons. Such accusations have shined a spotlight on banks’ account management practices, resulting in changes to regulatory practices and a new executive order from President Trump requiring additional regulatory changes and investigations. All of which will mean increased risk for financial institutions.

On August 7, President Trump signed an Executive Order directing the DOL, the SEC, and Treasury (including the IRS) to review and revise guidance to facilitate the inclusion of alternative investments—such as private equity, cryptocurrency, and other non-traditional assets—in defined contribution retirement plans. The Executive Order follows action in May of this year by the DOL to rescind its 2022 guidance that discouraged fiduciaries from including cryptocurrency options in 401(k) retirement plans.

What Is Advertising Litigation?
Advertising litigation is defined as the legal area that covers false or deceptive advertising cases. Lawsuits may be brought by government agencies or corporate competitors based on the Lanham Act—a law that specifically deals with false advertising. The Act outlines how an advertisement can be deemed false. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the ability to file lawsuits to halt deceptive advertising claims. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration may also pursue advertising litigation against violators of government regulations. Companies may be called on to substantiate their advertising claims, whether these are made in print or online.
