HANOVER, Md. — Hudson Cook LLP, a provider of legal compliance services for the financial services industry, has announced the addition of Rebecca (“Becki”) E. Kuehn as a partner in its Washington, D.C. office.
With over 15 years of experience in consumer financial services and consumer protection matters, Kuehn counsels financial institutions, consumer reporting agencies, service providers and others in complying with consumer financial laws and prohibitions against unfair, deceptive or abusive trade practices. She represents clients before federal and state agencies, particularly the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in investigations and other proceedings.
“Becki’s valuable experience at the Federal Trade Commission and as counsel for a major information services corporation perfectly aligns with the Firm’s practice, and she will be a great asset for our clients,” said Tom Hudson, chairman of Hudson Cook. “Becki served as an assistant director in the FTC’s Division of Privacy and Identity Protection, where she led the Fair Credit Reporting Act program and oversaw the Commission’s enforcement, outreach, and rulemaking activities in that area.”
Most recently, Kuehn served as vice president and senior regulatory counsel at CoreLogic, and was the lead attorney and coverage counsel for the CoreLogic credit reporting and consumer data businesses, providing advice and guidance to management on a wide variety of consumer data and privacy-related regulatory issues, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act.
Kuehn graduated from The George Washington University National Law Center with high honors, and is admitted to practice in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.
