Maureen Clark

Maureen accepted a compliance role with CUNA Mutual Group after law school and quickly discovered that she thrived on the intricacies of consumer finance regulations. Always a voracious reader, she loved absorbing massive amounts of information until she knew the rules backwards and forwards and then providing appropriate guidance to internal clients. Maureen advised cross-functional leaders and departments on business risks; conducted research on emerging issues, assessed risk to lines of business, and provided recommendations; and analyzed consumer finance statutes and regulations, including Regulations B, X and Z.

Maureen later moved to U.S. Bank, where she eventually rose to the role of senior corporate counsel for consumer and small business, providing legal advice on all aspects of applicable federal and state laws for consumer unsecured lending products and small business lending products. Prior roles at the bank had included a focus on ECOA and UDAAP emerging risks, as well as support for a variety of bank products and processes.

At Husch Blackwell, Maureen supports a variety of banking and finance clients and is passionate about helping them ensure that they do the right thing for their customers. Much of her counsel focuses on fair lending and responsible banking, with particular consideration of Regulation B and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and UDAAP. In addition, she provides support for the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfers Act.

Maureen’s background in-house means that it is second nature for her to interweave legal advice with business concerns, and she keeps clients’ business situations front and center. It also means that she has a gift for building long-term relationships and seeing clients as business partners. Known for her clear communication, Maureen has a reputation for working hand in hand with clients to protect both their businesses and their customers.
