New Orleans, LA — Mortgage lenders, servicers, warehouse counterparties, and title insurance operators enter the second half of 2026 facing one of the most unsettled compliance landscapes in more than a decade: a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in transition, state Attorneys General stepping into federal enforcement gaps, the NAR Settlement continuing to realign broker-lender referral economics, and a new wave of servicing, fair lending, and affiliated business arrangement activity emerging across the states. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s 2026 Legal Issues and Regulatory Compliance Conference — held May 4–7, 2026, at the InterContinental Miami — is where the industry’s senior legal and compliance leaders convene to work through exactly these issues.
Marx Sterbcow, Managing Attorney of the Sterbcow Law Group, LLC, will join a panel of leading mortgage industry attorneys and compliance executives at the 2026 conference to discuss the regulatory and enforcement forces most likely to reshape lender and settlement-provider operations through the balance of the year.
