Chris Willis, co-leader of Troutman Pepper Locke’s Consumer Financial Services Regulatory Practice Group, was quoted in the February 27, 2026 American Banker article, “Judges Seem Inclined to Allow CFPB RIFs — If There’s a Plan.”

  • “There have been some mixed signals about the administration’s intentions for the CFPB,” said Chris Willis, a partner at the law firm Troutman Pepper Locke. “The agency is pursuing a number of policy initiatives and rulemaking efforts that it presumably wants to complete. It has recently announced that it’s going to re-engage in supervisory exams. But, there have been statements by the agency’s leadership that the CFPB should be shut down completely.”
