Overview
Jules has assisted in the representation of clients involved in a range of commercial disputes in federal and state courts, including matters involving fraud, unfair and deceptive trade practices, and litigation arising out of commercial contracts and transactions.
Her financial regulatory experience includes helping financial institution clients respond to regulatory enforcement actions and address the supervisory concerns of state and federal banking authorities. However, her experience is not limited to remediation efforts, as she also assists bank holding company clients in their annual recovery and resolution planning efforts. Jules also advises on various legal issues for a range of financial services providers, including globally systemic, regional, and community banks, as well as fintech companies, money services businesses, and brokerage firms.
Jules is also involved in significant efforts related to anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), staying up to date on significant policy developments in the AML/CFT compliance space. She has helped to prepare training materials for compliance professionals as they reexamine their internal controls and undertake initiatives to update their compliance programs in accordance with AML/CFT legislation. In addition, she has assisted with the review of subscription agreements for clients who, as registered broker-dealers, will also be expected to achieve compliance with AML/CFT policy changes.
Jules also closely monitors the ever-evolving role of artificial intelligence and machine learning as enabling capabilities for risk-based compliance in financial institutions.
