Charles Williams

Swinging on the Legal Trapeze!: A 2013 Legislative Update and Parallel Federal Developments
Charles Williams, III, Esq., Blalack & Williams, P.C., Dallas, TX

As if the last three years haven't been challenging enough for credit unions in terms of regulatory compliance and operational changes by the minute, it’s an odd (in more ways than one) year and the Texas Legislature is up to its mischief. Credit union attorney, Charlie Williams, introduces the new laws which will have an impact on your credit union, how they might be addressed, and also touch upon impending federal laws and regulations that govern our credit union lives.
