Manatt lawyers once again took the lead role in editing and co-authoring the leading desk reference in consumer financial services law, Practising Law Institute’s (PLI) Consumer Financial Services Answer Book. Led by senior editor and co-author Richard E. Gottlieb, 14 Manatt professionals co-authored chapters in the just-published 2020 edition.

The treatise likewise provides detailed discussions of the core governing consumer lending acts, including:
- The Truth in Lending Act
- The Fair Credit Reporting Act
- The Equal Credit Opportunity Act
- The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
- The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
The 2020 volume also includes chapters focusing on a variety of industries, such as mortgage lending and servicing, auto finance, credit cards, and short-term lending.
