Our Story
SEASONED & ACCOMPLISHED
At SeldenLindeke we believe that the most effective regulatory legal advice is provided not only by attorneys who have top regulatory legal acumen and federal rule writing experience but also by those who have a comprehensive understanding of their client’s businesses, operations, markets and regulatory environments gained from years of hands-on experience in private practice and as the head of legal, compliance and risk functions at banks, lenders and technology vendors. Our partners have a proven track record of successfully assisting clients with developing new loan products, technology and business models.
One of our partners participated in drafting several consumer finance and residential mortgage lending Dodd-Frank Act rules as a senior counsel in the Office of Regulations at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after being a member of the implementation team at the Department of the Treasury that stood up the CFPB. We have also served as outside counsel providing advice on federal and state regulatory laws applicable to all areas of consumer and mortgage lending and related services. Our decades plus of in-house experience includes working with operations, customers, controls, service providers, business lines, c-suites, boards, investors, ratings agencies and federal and state regulators. The founding partners have been general counsel, head of regulatory legal, chief compliance officers, chief risk officers and as part of companywide senior leadership teams.
Our 20+ years of experience in all aspects of consumer and mortgage lending make SeldenLindeke a “go to” firm for interpreting and implementing new regulations and developing new business models, marketing programs, structures and proprietary technology and loan products.
