Enforcement Actions + Investigations

Like all major businesses that deal with consumers, financial services companies are prone to close scrutiny by regulatory authorities. Clients require a team of enforcement attorneys who understand and work closely with other financial services attorneys to handle their legal matters. Our multidisciplinary team provides clients with a coordinated approach to help reduce the possibility of enforcement actions and investigations.

Our consumer financial services enforcement attorneys have extensive experience interacting with regulatory and law enforcement agencies, including state attorneys general, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We understand that it is not only beneficial but necessary to proactively advocate for our clients before government and other regulatory bodies. Doing so enables us to anticipate and address enforcement issues before they result in regulatory action or litigation.

Our clients often discover our consumer financial services enforcement practice after first seeking us out for assistance with litigation. For example, one of our clients contacted the firm to handle possible litigation. In response, attorneys from each of our consumer financial services team’s core areas (litigation, regulatory compliance, and enforcement) reviewed the issues and recommended an alternative approach that addressed the issues without resorting to litigation. We now represent this client in all three areas of our consumer financial services group. This has empowered our client to spend less time and money fighting legal battles, allowing more time to focus on growing its business.
