Join Us on May 19, 2025 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm (EST)
Behind every credit union is a network of vendors. Many are terrific. But others can be underperforming, costly, or risky. This session helps credit union leaders and supervisors take control of vendor relationships before they become a liability. Join us to uncover the most common traps hidden in vendor contracts, recognize the early warning signs of underperformance, and learn how to negotiate from a position of strength.
Led by attorney Charles Nerko, who has successfully guided many credit unions through high-stakes vendor disputes, we will examine real-world examples of vendor missteps that blindsided unsuspecting institutions and share smart, practical strategies to reduce vendor risks and costs.
From due diligence to day-to-day oversight, participants will leave with actionable tactics to strengthen vendor partnerships, enforce accountability, and protect credit unions from hidden threats to safety and soundness.

Attendance is free as a NASCUS member benefit. Registration is required.

Emerging Class Action Litigation Trends Involving Financial Institutions: Reg E, Meta Pixels, and More

NASCUS is pleased to present the latest offering in our ongoing series of complimentary member webinars surveying the state of class action litigation in the financial services sector.

We will be joined by David Wright Tremaine’s Fred Burnside to provide an overview of the current trends in class action litigation against financial institutions and suggested mitigation steps financial institutions should consider.
During this interactive and informative webinar, Fred Burnside will provide an overview of the latest developments in Regulation E litigation involving overdraft disputes, peer-to-peer payment legal vulnerabilities, liabilities arising from the use of website traffic monitoring tools, and more.
Registration is required. There is no cost for attending as a NASCUS member benefit.

Speaker

Fred Burnside concentrates his complex civil litigation practice on matters related to class-action defense, consumer financial services, and hydroelectric relicensing. His more than two decades as an attorney is distinguished by significant victories secured on behalf of financial service providers, at trial and on appeal in state and federal courts, particularly in class action lawsuits regarding non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees.
Fred obtained a motion to dismiss in the pioneer class action lawsuit over NSF fee practices and has since successfully defended other major financial services providers facing similar claims. He also has the rare experience of taking a financial services class action through a jury trial—and winning. With an established track record of securing outright victory or favourable settlement, Fred has become the go-to NSF fee attorney for consumer financial service providers facing class action lawsuits.
His leadership at DWT includes serving as the co-chair of the class action defense group, and he previously served as the firm’s deputy litigation department practice group chair, Executive Committee member, and on the firm’s Share (Compensation) Committee. He is a co-chair of the ABA’s Annual National Institute on Class Actions, editor of the ABA Class Action Committee’s Annual Survey of State Class Action Litigation, and a member of the American Law Institute.
