Banking and Financial Services
Business Fluency
We've spent years working alongside clients on product development, regulatory matters, transactions, and litigation, including as in-house counsel or on secondments. We offer practical advice that can be easily communicated to, and implemented by, your business and management teams.
Strategic Industry Insight
Our team is fully integrated across all of the relevant legal disciplines, and our work in one area reinforces and strengthens our ability to provide insight beyond legal counsel in others.
Regulatory and Compliance
We help you address even the most complex regulatory requirements when you design innovative products and services. We can advise on best practices, business strategy, and potential risks when you move into new business lines or face new or changing regulations.
Transactional
We’ve done hundreds of deals in the payments space for financial and non-financial institutions. We know the consultants, the law firms, and the market.
Enforcement, Investigations, and Litigation
Our team includes former federal and state regulators. We can advise on how to address the business and reputational concerns that arise from supervisory and enforcement actions or litigation as well as provide insight into how regulators will approach the proceedings.
Our Approach
For James Mann, partner in our Consumer Financial Services team, meeting client objectives means mastering all sides of a deal—regulatory, business, and personal.
Our Capabilities
Whether you're an emerging company developing a privacy policy or a global financial institution in need of sophisticated regulatory analysis, we can help.
Bank Regulatory
We assist banks and financial services firms in navigating a complex, ever-evolving regulatory landscape, advising our clients on managing their regulatory, compliance, and supervisory risks by finding the right solutions for their business need.
Enforcement & Investigations
We navigate clients through regulatory scrutiny and difficult investigations while minimizing cost, disruption, and reputational impact.

Our cross-functional FinTech team can help you balance speed-to-market with compliance requirements.
Mortgage & Home Lending
DWT's team draws on its firsthand knowledge to aid bank and non-bank mortgage lenders, loan servicers, secondary market investors, and FinTechs in all aspects of mortgage lending and servicing-related enforcement, supervision, regulatory counseling, and complex litigation.
Regulatory & Compliance
Whether we're providing a global financial institution deep insight into a specific issue or offering holistic guidance to an emerging FinTech, our goal is the same: to provide practical, business-focused recommendations that help you address regulatory and compliance challenges.
