The financial services industry continues to undergo dynamic change along many dimensions—for example, the macroeconomic environment, product design and value propositions, technology, the identity and number of market participants, corporate and portfolio transactions, the role of the networks, legislation and regulations, enforcement priorities, and even the underlying regulatory paradigm. Still, many processes, requirements and other features of the industry remain relatively unchanged.

The DWT financial services team addresses these changes and continuities every day, leveraging our presence on both coasts and our many years of industry experience in payments; FinTech; and bank and consumer financial regulation, enforcement, investigations and litigation. With Financial Services Law Advisor, we offer commentary on new developments that seem particularly significant, as well as resources that we believe can be helpful to others who are tasked with anticipating, understanding and addressing these developments.

We welcome your comments, questions, and—especially—your suggestions.
