Goodwin Procter helps some of the nation’s largest consumer financial services companies — including banks and thrifts, mortgage companies, consumer lenders, credit card issuers, payments networks, auto lenders, technology companies and leasing entities — offer their products and services, both on-line and through traditional channels. We provide regulatory advice involving the development of new products, assist with the chartering and licensing of new financial services companies, draft compliance policies and procedures, conduct compliance reviews, and counsel on privacy and data security matters. Our attorneys regularly represent consumer financial services companies and trade associations — including the Electronic Funds Transfer Association and the Consumer Bankers Association — before Congress and federal and state regulatory agencies.
Goodwin Procter has one of the largest consumer class action litigation practices in the country, defending major mortgage lenders in multimillion-dollar lawsuits in jurisdictions across the country and providing representation in federal and state enforcement proceedings. We also represent consumer financial services clients in mergers and acquisitions, public offerings, asset purchases and sales, warehouse lending agreements, joint ventures, joint marketing agreements and outsourcing arrangements.
