Mayer Brown LLP
Mayer Brown is a global legal services organization with offices across the United States and the world. We are trusted advisors to all participants in the mortgage banking industry, offering regulatory, government enforcement, litigation, class action defense, transactional, structured finance, securitization, licensing and public policy capabilities to lenders, servicers, investors, mortgage insurers, and other participants in the industry. Our substantial presence in Washington DC enhances our ability to keep our hand on the pulse of government policy, to counsel clients, to obtain agency approvals and to defend against administrative enforcement actions. A number of our lawyers have served in federal and state agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Department of the Treasury, Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Department of Justice, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and numerous offices of state attorneys general. Compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements and the interplay between the two by virtue of federal preemption is a fundamental component of the work of our Consumer Financial Services group. Our lawyers are fully conversant in each of the federal laws and programs that impact mortgage lending operations, as well as state and federal consumer fraud and unfair or deceptive or abusive practices statutes, and state telephone recording and eavesdropping laws. We also counsel clients on government insured or guaranteed loan programs, the Home Affordable Modification Program and the requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. We analyze policies and procedures for compliance with applicable federal and state laws, prepare industry comment letters on proposed regulations, conduct due diligence, conduct in-house training seminars and design and evaluate enterprise risk, due diligence and quality control systems. We also assist companies with the implementation of the latest federal and state laws and regulations.
