Compliance and Ethical Considerations in a COVID-19 Environment This session will examine the compliance and ethical challenges that will be facing the default servicing industry as moratoria and shelter in place orders are modified and/or begin to expire. We will review not only defaults that were already in place when the orders commenced, but also post order defaults, as well as ongoing and new eviction issues. There will be a myriad of new communication and privacy issues, litigation strategies, as well as timeline impacts and management as files come off hold. The panel will delve into these issues along with the legal ethical issues that are presented as a result.
