PSA Co-sponsored Presentation:
"An insider's view of the current financial crisis" 

Thursday, Oct. 2 at 11 am in 250 SWKT

Randall Guynn, Head of the Financial Institutions Group at Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York, will give an insider's view of the current financial crisis, including the government's bailouts of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bear Stearns and AIG, the decision to let Lehman Brothers fail and other recent developments. He will discuss the causes of the current crisis, its potential depth, breadth and duration, and possible solutions. Mr. Guynn and his colleagues at Davis Polk represented Freddie Mac in the government's bailout of Fannie and Freddie, the Federal Reserve in its bailout of AIG, one of the bidders for Lehman Brothers just before it was allowed to fail and various creditors in their exposures to Bear Stearns and Lehman. He has also advised the federal government on various legislative options for reducing the risk of similar financial crises in the future, through the creation of a financial markets stability regulator that would have authority over all systemically important financial institutions, including banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and hedge funds.
