New Lawyer Lineup at CFPB Following Departure

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau appointed Kelly Thompson Cochran as acting assistant director for regulations. She’ll be filling the shoes of Leonard Chanin, who is returning to Morrison & Foerster.

"Cochran previously served as the deputy assistant director for regulations, and will now oversee all of the CFPB's rulewriting related to Dodd-Frank, including several mortgage-related regulations," writes American Banker’s Rob Blackwell.

The agency also promoted Stephen Van Meter to deputy general counsel and hired Chris Lipsett, from  Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Door, as senior counsel in the office of the agency's director.
