Alston & Bird announced today the addition of a counsel to the firm’s capital markets practice in Washington, D.C. R. Colgate Selden, formerly of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, arrives on the heels of six other capital markets partners who joined the firm in May 2013.
Mr. Selden counsels clients on the full array of federal and state mortgage banking, consumer credit and ancillary services regulatory issues. While at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Office of Regulations, he developed and drafted Loan Originator Compensation, TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure, HELOC and AMTPA guidance and rules, and ATR/QM rule revisions. He also developed policy for interrelationships between Loan Originator Compensation, ATR/QM and HOEPA Rules. Additionally, Colgate led the teams responsible for developing policy and issuing guidance for TILA Mortgage and FDCPA inquiries received by the Bureau. He was also a senior member of the policy and guidance teams for RESPA and Regulation P.
“We are very pleased to have Colgate Selden join the firm. His arrival rounds out the latest expansion of our capital markets practice, mostly notably in our New York office,” stated Richard Hays, managing partner of Alston & Bird. “We now have in place one of the nation’s deepest teams in the debt capital markets arena.”
