Matthew Long to present on statistical and economical
approaches for mortgage lenders’ HMDA data
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 14, 2005—Bates White Partner,
Matthew Long, will speak at American Conference Institute’s
“2nd National Corporate Counsel Forum on HMDA” in
Las Vegas, on November 15–16, 2005.
Mr. Long will participate in two different sessions. On the
first day, he will participate in the session, “Measure
of Damages: An investigation into the Financial Consequences of
HMDA.” He will compare the financial risk that lenders face
in fair lending litigation versus the broader risk with their
reputation resulting from such litigation or related allegations.
On day two, he will discuss analytical methodologies that help
detect pricing disparities and explain the underlying drivers
of these disparities during the session titled, “Internal
Strategies for Minimizing ‘Bad’ HMDA Data for New
Loans.” To illustrate, Mr. Long will present cutting-edge
predictive-modeling techniques lenders can employ to reduce the
adverse impact of custom credit-scoring models without lowering
the predictiveness of the models.
This conference will provide attorneys, mortgage brokers and
executives, lenders, and compliance officers with a solid foundation
on the key legal and economic issues surrounding HMDA data. Topics
to be covered include federal and state legislation and enforcement,
plaintiff and defense strategies, and HMDA data analysis, impacts,
and strategies on the lending industry.
