Law360: Mitchell Sandler’s Latest Hire Is Veteran Fed Atty

Washington, D.C.-based Mitchell Sandler LLC, a women-managed and women-owned boutique financial services firm, announced Tuesday that it has named a Federal Reserve Board veteran of seven years as its latest lateral hire to the firm's regulatory and enforcement practice.

Jeremy Hochberg brings almost eight years of experience at the Federal Reserve Board to his new role as senior counsel with Mitchell Sandler, including three years as counsel of unfair or deceptive acts or practices enforcement and nearly five years as supervisory policy and outreach managing counsel at the Fed.

The firm touted Hochberg's deep knowledge of financial regulations in its announcement of his hiring, stating that the attorney both developed policies and brought enforcement actions in his roles with the central bank.

"Jeremy brings to Mitchell Sandler the ideal combination of regulatory and enforcement experience viewed through a public and private sector lens," Andrea Mitchell, founder and managing partner of Mitchell Sandler, said in a statement.

"With heightened attention from regulators and enforcement agencies on fair and responsible banking issues, Jeremy will be a valuable resource for our clients as we guide them through their greatest challenges in this space," Mitchell said.

The move signals a return to private practice for the experienced financial services attorney, who began his career as an attorney in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, but spent six years at Arnold & Porter as an associate and another two years as counsel at WilmerHale before joining the Fed.
