About Christina J. Grigorian
When lenders or their capital sources need regulatory counsel about the lenders' compliance or operations, they turn to Christina Grigorian. Clients rely on Christina's thorough understanding of the complex regulatory environment in which lenders do business, as well as her practical approach to compliance and understanding of the broader consumer and commercial credit market. She advises banks, bank holding companies, and state-licensed consumer and commercial lenders, as well as providers of capital to consumer and commercial lending businesses, including those that offer their products and services on a "fintech" platform.
The regulatory advice lenders need to succeed
Christina's first priority when advising clients is to ensure that the products they offer or deals they fund comply with all applicable laws related to providing consumer or commercial credit in the US marketplace. For every client, she develops a thorough understanding of the operational, market and reputational challenges they face in order to provide the most actionable, practical compliance advice.
