Former Fannie Mae Compliance Lead to Speak at Banking Litigation Conference in
January

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Mealey's Litigation Conferences is
pleased to announce that former Fannie Mae compliance lead Megan Kraai has
agreed to join the faculty of the Mealey's conference -- The FDIC & the
Banking Crisis: Litigation Challenges Past, Present & Future.
This fully accredited program is being held at the Westin Grand in
Washington, D.C., Jan. 15-16, 2009.
Kraai is now partner with DLA Piper in its litigation and regulatory
practice group. While with Fannie Mae, Kraai created, implemented and led a
risk-based compliance program; developed company-wide policies; developed the
company's corporate privacy program; started the company's first OFAC program
for compliance with US trade sanctions regulations; and developed and
delivered the company's first online courses for privacy, code of conduct and
insider trading.
DLA Piper's Robert Mathias, upon announcing Kraai had joined the firm,
called her an "an exceptional attorney who will undoubtedly bolster the firm's
already strong compliance capabilities." DLA Piper has lawyers in 28 countries
with leading practices in corporate, finance, human resources, litigation,
real estate, regulatory and legislative, tax, and technology, media and
communications.
Kraai will join nearly two dozen other speakers at the FDIC & the Banking
Crisis program, chaired by attorneys at another leading law firm, Hughes
Hubbard & Reed LLP. Scott H. Christensen and Dennis S. Klein, both Hughes
Hubbard partners, are putting together a unique program on this urgent issue.
"We are thrilled to be working with such top legal industry talent,
something we strive for with all of our events," said Tom Hagy, president of
Mealey's Litigation Conferences, which provides legal education and networking
opportunities in the areas of complex commercial, insurance, reinsurance and
