Joseph “Joe” Reilly advises a wide variety of financial services companies as they
navigate regulatory and compliance requirements. He regularly represents lenders, fintech
startups, neobanks, and mortgage servicers in enforcement matters, including informal investigations
and examinations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), OCC, Federal Reserve,
FDIC, SEC, numerous state agencies, and the mortgage government-sponsored enterprises such as
Fannie Mae. His compliance counseling work covers the entire range of consumer and business
lending laws and rules under TILA/Reg. Z, ECOA/Reg. B, UDAAP, EFTA/Reg. E, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, debt-collection laws, GLBA privacy provisions, state licensing regimes, and others.
Joe also has extensive experience advising on mortgage law matters, including RESPA’s
anti-kickback provisions, and fair lending, servicing, and mortgage insurance issues. He is
the principal author of “CFPB Mortgage Origination Rules Deskbook,” published by
the American Bankers Association. The 625-page treatise, now in its 2nd edition, is the
definitive guide to the CFPB’s mortgage origination rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act.
