Lippes Mathias LLP's Asset Receivable Management & Consumer Financial Services Practice Team approaches this fast moving and constantly evolving area of the law in a strategic and unique way that is driven by its lawyers' extensive knowledge of the consumer financial services industry. Our attorneys have experience in a broad spectrum of litigation in both federal and state courts across the country from inception of a matter through the appellate process. Our attorneys regularly advise and advocate on behalf of servicers, lenders, banks, financial institutions and other secured and unsecured creditors throughout the country in the defense of claims and class actions contending that various federal statutes, including the FDCPA, TCPA, FCRA, EFTA and TILA, were violated.

We routinely represent clients in investigations and enforcement actions launched by both state and federal agencies, including state attorneys general, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), offering clients novel and practical approaches to minimizing exposure and protecting the overall success of our clients.  Our exceptional knowledge of the statutes and regulatory schemes in this area also allows us to regularly assist our ARM Industry clients with developing collection and compliance programs designed to minimize risk and exposure to federal statutes such as the FDCPA, TCPA, FCRA, EFTA and TILA.  In addition, our healthcare legal professionals are experienced with the unique regulatory requirements for the sale and servicing of healthcare patient receivable accounts including HIPAA, state patient privacy and consumer protection statutes and IRS charitable care standards for not-for-profit health systems.
