Consumer contracts touch nearly every aspect of daily life. Yet, unlike traditional contract law, the law of consumer contracts presents a fundamental challenge to practitioners, because of the asymmetry in information, sophistication, and stakes between the parties to these contracts: the business and the consumers.
This webcast dives into the practical aspects of consumer contracts, taking into account The American Law Institute’s recently released Restatement of the Law, Consumer Contracts. The session combines an expert analysis of key sections of the Restatement with take-away strategies for attorneys who advise commercial clients.
Using real-world examples and illustrations, participants will learn to navigate issues such as reasonable notice, contract formation, and compliance with federal and state laws. The program also addresses how attorneys can adapt to evolving standards, highlighting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) role in shaping consumer contract provisions.
