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.

Event Details

Marx Sterbcow, Managing Attorney of the Sterbcow Law Group, will be presenting at the Collateral Risk Network event during the Valuation Expo Conference at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas on September 7, 2022.   The presentation, “The CFPB’s New Equity Agenda” will discuss the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and US Department of Justice’s focus on fair lending and fair housing.  The session will also focus on the CFPB’s Equal Time Advertising Rule (“EqTar”) and the Demographic Equality Employment Quota Rule (“DEEQR”) theories under the Fair Lending Act and how these concepts will reverberate across all regulated entities as these new expectations on businesses are being imposed by the federal government.  EqTar is defined as the failure to advertise to a specific racial group and DEEQR is defined as job specific hiring practices.
