For ten years, Amy served at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), placing her at the forefront of modern consumer finance law. She was a key member of the teams responsible for drafting and implementing significant recent regulations.

In this capacity, she led numerous regulatory implementation initiatives to develop compliance resources for industry stakeholders across a broad range of products, including mortgage lending and servicing, consumer lending, debt collection, payday lending, prepaid accounts, and automated valuation models. Amy collaborated on topics such as auto lending, buy now–pay later products, credit reporting, fair lending, and remittances. Her deep, inside knowledge of the CFPB’s processes ensures clients receive sophisticated, forward-looking guidance that anticipates enforcement and compliance challenges.

Before her government service, Amy spent 19 years at a business law firm where she led the firm’s bank regulatory and consumer finance practice. She advised banks, credit unions, and other financial service companies on a wide range of federal and state laws, licensing, privacy and security requirements, and fair lending.

Amy’s advisory work was strategic and operational. She helped clients design and launch innovative lending, deposit, card, and payment products, and guided boards and executives through major regulatory changes, developing the necessary policies, procedures, and agreements to manage risk and ensure compliance with state and federal laws. Demonstrating her operational fluency, her experience includes secondments with large bank legal departments, where she oversaw retail banking, operations, and regulatory affairs, giving her direct executive insight into internal challenges. Amy also possesses litigation experience in consumer finance and banking matters.
