Financial Services Attorney

Gordon Feinblatt’s Financial Services Practice Group is looking for an experienced financial services attorney, preferably having spent eight or more years representing clients, including all types of financial institutions, on regulatory compliance, consumer and commercial loan and deposit transactions, business transactions, and contract negotiation/drafting. Must be licensed or eligible to be licensed in Maryland.

A typical day for this position is a mix of advising clients on regulatory compliance, including compliance with federal and state requirements applicable to consumer loans, deposit accounts, mortgage lending/brokering, credit service businesses, data privacy issues, and more, for both traditional financial institutions and fintechs. Strong writing and communication skills are necessary for this position. This is a senior position working independently without more senior supervision but is part of a collaborative financial services team and a firm available to provide support as unique or unusual client challenges are presented. 

Our team spends time on a variety of matters, including: 

• Assisting with Maryland licensing issues (lending, credit service business, collection agency, etc.) 
• New loan/deposit product development (disclosures, permissible fees, structuring advice)
• Business transactions (loan pool sales, documenting commercial loan transactions, financial institution mergers, bank partnership arrangements) 
• Developing polices for websites and consumer facing application platforms
• Working collaboratively with other departments within the firm 
• Providing strategic legal advice to financial institutions/fintechs
• Serving as outside general counsel for financial institutions

Our team has an existing stable of clients thus a significant book of portable business is not required but is considered a plus. The successful candidate will be expected to attach to existing clients and over time expand the practice by adding new clients.  
 

The firm dedicates significant resources to supporting the success of attorneys. This includes a robust network of employee resources groups, an internal education program to foster substantive and professional skills, and a business development program with marketing support. Lawyers are encouraged to become involved in firm and community life to complement their practice. 

The financial services group is a hybrid practice, and lawyers choose to work wherever they can best meet client needs.    Interested candidates should submit their resume to apply directly to this ad or can email recruiting@gfrlaw.com. 

Must be licensed or eligible to be licensed in Maryland. 

Salary Range: $150,000-$180,000
