Keith Levenberg

Keith Levenberg is a partner in Goodwin Procter’s Consumer Financial Services Litigation group. His practice focuses on the defense of mortgage lenders in class actions and other high-stakes matters. He has helped clients win dismissals, defeat class certification, and protect their victories on appeal in a range of disputes relating to loan servicing, fair lending/fair housing, loan modification and forbearance programs, consumer privacy, and credit reporting. Over a decade, he secured precedent-setting dismissals and denials of class certification in cases arising from mortgage modification and relief programs launched in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. He maintains an active practice defending against abuses of anti-discrimination laws and has won dismissals and summary judgment in a variety of Fair Housing Act cases, including lawsuits by municipalities postulating that discriminatory lending depleted their tax revenue and, most recently, lawsuits by self-styled fair-housing organizations alleging discrimination in the maintenance of post-foreclosure REO properties. He has authored amici curiae briefs for the MBA and coalitions of industry groups under MBA’s leadership in the U.S. Supreme Court, most recently urging the Court to establish clear rules on Article III standing in class actions in Laboratory Corp. v. Davis.
