His career began as a litigator focusing on consumer financial services litigation and defense of regulatory claims against chartered and non-chartered financial institutions, finance entities, and money services business.
Following in the wake of the fiscal crisis, he began working with financial institutions, money transmitters, non-traditional lenders, check cashers, and mortgage brokers on issues of regulatory compliance.

Along with the firm’s technology group, Mr. Rustin regularly works with FinTech companies on state and federal regulatory compliance as well as issues relating to data integrity and E-Sign Act compliance.
Mr. Rustin works with a number of industry organizations focusing on financial institutions and regularly speaks on topics involving regulatory compliance for chartered and non-chartered financial institutions.
