The Dodd-Frank Act: the UK perspective | Practical Law
In July 2010, a comprehensive package of financial reform legislation was enacted in the US, known as the Dodd-Frank Act. This will affect banks and other financial institutions with significant US operations, and also those non-US companies whose securities are listed on a US stock exchange. However, the effects on non-US companies are much broader than that, extending to UK companies without significant financial services operations or a US listing.
