Brian J. Hurh

Partner

I help clients achieve balance between building strong compliance infrastructure and getting products quickly to market.

Brian Hurh helps clients navigate the complex array of federal and state banking and financial privacy laws. As a former systems engineer and computer programmer for an Internet payment startup, Brian has both the legal and technical expertise to understand the regulatory and business needs of companies that include banks and non-bank financial services companies, financial technology providers, merchants and marketplaces, and payment service providers.

Brian’s regulatory expertise encompasses the alphabet soup of federal consumer financial protection laws, in particular TILA, EFTA, ECOA, GLBA, FCRA and ESIGN. He also regularly advises companies on federal and state prepaid, gift card, money transmitter and payment network compliance concerns.

Brian is the Professional Development Partner for the Consumer Financial Services practice group.
