Jules W. Carter

Jules focuses on helping institutional clients navigate complex regulatory environments and pursue business strategies that balance innovation with risk-awareness. Her financial regulatory experience includes representing financial institution clients in response to regulatory enforcement actions and addressing the supervisory concerns of state and federal banking authorities. Her experience is not limited to remediation efforts as she also assists bank clients deploying targeted marketing algorithms by reviewing model parameters and highlighting potential regulatory or reputational risks that could emerge. Jules 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 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 prepared 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.
