Financial Compliance and Risk: Legal Challenges, Emerging Trends

Since the 2008 financial crisis, banks and other financial institutions have significantly expanded their compliance, risk, and controls departments, increasingly relying on attorneys to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. These legal professionals play a critical role in interpreting, implementing, and testing the complex web of regulations imposed by key financial regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and numerous other oversight bodies. As financial regulations evolve, particularly in response to economic shifts and emerging risks, the demand for attorneys with expertise in financial compliance remains essential to maintaining institutional integrity, regulatory adherence, and legal adaptability.
