Mortgage Lending Legal and Regulatory Compliance

With extensive experience in the financial services arena, we are able to offer comprehensive and custom-tailored advice regarding all aspects of the mortgage lending legal and regulatory compliance. We also represent clients in state and federal administrative proceedings. 

Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) Compliance

The Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) is a federal law that requires mortgage lenders to make certain specific disclosures to residential homebuyers. We represent mortgage lenders with respect to TILA compliance and also provide defense representation for TILA claims and litigation. 

California Small Business Truth-in-Lending Law Compliance

Passed in 2018, the California Small Business Truth-in-Lending Law applies the principles of the TILA to small-business lending. Our lawyers are available to assist all types of lenders with compliance under this new law. 

Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) Compliance

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) extends mortgage lenders’ disclosure obligations through the settlement process. It establishes disclosure requirements for brokers, servicers, subordinate lenders, and various other entities as well. We assist clients throughout the mortgage industry with all aspects of RESPA compliance. 

Mortgage Banking License Applications and Appeals

Mortgage banks operating in California are required to be licensed under the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act (CRMLA). Due to the complexities involved, obtaining a license under the CRMLA can often be challenging, and our attorneys provide skilled legal representation for both applications and appeals.
