Chris J. Willis

[upbeat music] Welcome to the Consumer Finance Podcast.

I'm Chris Willis, the co-leader of Troutman Pepper Law's Consumer Financial Services regulatory practice.

And today we're gonna be talking about the comeback of foreclosure actions, both residential and commercial, and the implications that has for financial services companies in litigation and otherwise.

But before we jump into that topic, let me remind you to visit and subscribe to our blogs, troutmanfinancialservices.com and consumerfinancialserviceslawmonitor.com. And while you're at it, please check out all of our other great podcasts, the FCRA Focus, the Crypto Exchange, Payments Pros, and Moving the Metal.

[upbeat music] Welcome to this special crossover edition of the Consumer Finance Podcast and Regulatory Oversight.

I'm Chris Willis, the co-leader of Troutman Pepper Lock's Consumer Financial Services Regulatory Group, and I'm joined today by my colleague, Stefanie Jackman, who's a very frequent contributor to our podcast, as well as Mike Yaghi from our nationally ranked State Attorneys General team and our firm's Regulatory Investigation Strategy and Enforcement Practice group.

And Mike is a frequent guest on the Consumer Finance Podcast as well.

But we're doing this as a joint podcast because this is an area of interest to both of us, and we in the Consumer Financial Services group work very, very closely with our nationally ranked State Attorneys General group, and we're really glad that Mike is here to join us today.
