Consumer Financial Protection in the Mulvaney Era

Webinar | October.04.2018 | 2pm - 3pm (Eastern Daylight Time)

Mick Mulvaney began serving as the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the fall of 2017, ushering in a period of change and uncertainty that continues almost a year later. If you've had trouble staying up to speed on all of the developments since then, you're not alone. Orrick discussed the rapidly evolving regulatory, enforcement, and litigation landscape at the bureau and what it means for you. The webcast was a whirlwind tour of significant rulemaking and supervisory developments, the uptick in enforcement actions in recent months, closed and active litigation matters, and other important developments during Mulvaney's ongoing tenure.

Amanda Lawrence Partner

Washington, D.C.

She is a trusted adviser to and first call in high-stakes litigation and enforcement matters, including government investigations, regulatory examinations, class action and complex litigation, and internal investigations. Her matters include investigations, examinations, and enforcement actions before the CFPB, FTC, federal and state bank regulators and state attorneys general, including defending a leading bank in one of the CFPB’s first enforcement actions—a joint investigation and enforcement action with the FDIC.

Amanda also represents clients in bet the company litigation, including financial institutions and lenders in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) matters, consumer class actions and other complex civil litigation matters.

Amanda is well versed in all aspects of her clients’ business and is known for providing thoughtful and practical advice. She leverages her experience with litigation and enforcement agencies to stay ahead of regulatory trends impacting the finance and fintech industries. Key among these is data monetization and regulators’ heightened focus on how data is collected, used, stored and transferred. Amanda’s practice started in the cyber and privacy spheres, and today she helps clients manage compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Regulation P, the Safeguards Rule, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Prior to joining Orrick, Amanda was a partner at Buckley LLP, where she was a member of the partner board. She also has an active pro bono practice.
