Kristin Lee counsels US and non-US banks, bank holding companies, and their affiliates on bank regulatory, supervisory, and enforcement matters before all major federal and state financial regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. She advises clients on US banking laws and regulations, supervisory guidance and interpretations, and bank regulatory developments. Kristin also regularly advises banks on compliance matters, regulatory applications, notices, and other supervisory communications in connection with investments and other transactions, initial entry into the United States by non-US banks and international operations of US banks, chartering and licensing initiatives, control and non-control determinations, and enforcement matters.
Kristin’s in-depth knowledge of federal and state banking and financial services laws, including the Bank Holding Company Act, National Bank Act, Federal Deposit Insurance Act, International Banking Act, and Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, along with their implementing regulations, enables her to provide strategic advice on a broad range of regulatory, transactional, corporate governance, and compliance matters.
Kristin has spent her career advising large banks on bank regulatory and supervisory matters, previously within a global financial institution’s bank regulatory legal group, and prior to that in a multinational financial services law firm’s financial institutions group.
