Mayer Brown Bolsters Banking Regulation Expertise with Former Fed Official

Mayer Brown has strengthened its capabilities in banking regulation and financial services policy with the appointment of Andrew Hartlage as a partner in its Public Policy, Regulatory & Government Affairs practice in Washington, D.C.

Hartlage joins Mayer Brown after more than 13 years working on financial services policy, including service as senior special counsel in the Legal Division of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He was detailed from the Federal Reserve to the staff of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, where he advised members of Congress and committee staff on financial services legislation and hearings.

Hartlage's extensive experience working on banking regulatory issues from within both a major federal regulatory agency and Congress will support Mayer Brown's financial institution clients as they navigate overlapping regulatory, legislative, and policy considerations. He has worked on capital regulation, permissible banking activities, mergers and acquisitions, resolution planning, and insurance supervision.

Hartlage developed working relationships with other major financial regulators and government organizations, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and U.S. Department of the Treasury.
