Consumer Finance Law
Navigating Complex Consumer Finance Law With Precision
In the world of consumer finance, strict rules and consumer rights make it hard to run a business. Our legal team for the Consumer Finance industry is here to help and advocate for our clients in court, enforcement, compliance, and company affairs.
The Consumer Financial Services industry is one of the most heavily regulated in the United States. The legislative reforms that followed the financial crisis reshaped the sector, and we expect further adjustments post-COVID-19. Our clients need smart lawyers to handle regulatory inquiries, enforcement actions, and litigation. By working with our practice, clients get the strength of industry leaders, former in-house counsel, enforcement lawyers, consumer rights and regulatory litigators, and transactional attorneys. Together, we work to ensure that our clients remain at the forefront of this ever-evolving industry.

Our team helps people with financing and our former government lawyers have a lot of experience dealing with complicated rules.

Our lawyers across the United States are dedicated to making sure our clients follow all federal and state laws, while understanding what our clients’ rights are under those laws. We are careful about identifying new rules and how they are being enforced. Our national practice groupworks together smoothly across practices and regions. This means we can provide the great and affordable service our clients want.
