Supervisory Examinations, Investigations & Enforcement

Proactive Guidance Through Regulatory Scrutiny

When regulators come calling, preparation makes the difference. When facing a routine examination, targeted investigation, or full-scale enforcement action, businesses need experienced counsel who can respond swiftly, protect reputational and operational integrity, and resolve matters efficiently.

At Hinshaw, we help financial institutions, insurance companies, fintechs, healthcare entities, and other regulated businesses navigate supervisory exams and investigations from start to finish. Our team advises clients during inquiries from federal and state regulators, including the CFPB, FTC, SEC, state attorneys general, departments of insurance, and banking regulators. We deliver practical, business-aligned strategies that anticipate regulator expectations, mitigate enforcement risk, and support long-term compliance goals

Our team includes attorneys with deep agency insight, including former government enforcement lawyers and attorneys who have held senior in-house roles. Through conducting internal reviews, responding to Civil Investigative Demands (ClDs), and negotiating consent orders, we help clients maintain control in the face of scrutiny.
