Daniel Stipano brings more than three decades of bank regulatory and enforcement experience to his position as a Partner in Buckley Sandler LLP’s Washington, D.C., office. In his practice he advises on all aspects of bank regulatory and compliance issues, represents clients in state, federal, and foreign banking enforcement actions, and provides assistance in establishing, maintaining, and monitoring Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) compliance programs.
Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Stipano was at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), where he served as Deputy Chief Counsel for 16 years after joining the agency as a staff attorney 30 years ago.
In his role as Deputy Chief Counsel, including serving two stints as Acting Chief Counsel, he was extensively involved in every major OCC enforcement action over the last 20 years until the time of his departure. In addition, he played a key role in every major BSA/AML post-USA PATRIOT Act rulemaking and policy issuance.
Over the course of his career at the OCC, Mr. Stipano oversaw three Supreme Court cases that resulted in victories for the agency and the banking industry, supervised more than a dozen successful appeals of lower court decisions, and was instrumental in bringing the first fair lending action taken against a bank by a federal banking agency, as well as the first Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices (UDAP) action taken against a bank.
Mr. Stipano has testified before Congress six times on enforcement and BSA/AML matters, and prepared dozens of OCC witnesses to do the same.
A recognized leader in his field, Mr. Stipano has spoken at more than 100 conferences and industry events, and over the course of his career has established strong working relationships with his former colleagues in law enforcement and in other regulatory agencies. He received his J.D. from the College of William & Mary and his B.A. from Union College.
