Overview
Drawing on her former in-house counsel experience at a global financial institution, Nadine brings a practical understanding of business considerations that shape financial services legal decisions. She advises banks on regulatory and transactional matters, including bank operations, cash management, payment systems, product development initiatives, and technology-related agreements. A Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US), Nadine also advises financial institutions and affiliated third-party service providers on the evolving cybersecurity, data security, and privacy considerations that increasingly overlap with financial products and services.

Understanding the missteps in a highly regulated space that can lead to litigation informs how she counsels clients, always bearing in mind risk mitigation with accomplishing business goals.
Nadine approaches each engagement with a commitment to thoughtful advocacy and practical solutions, whether advising financial institutions on complex legal matters or supporting her local community through pro bono work with the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and Public Counsel.
