Mr. Cabral’s extensive knowledge of federal and state banking and financial services laws, including the Bank Holding Company Act, National Bank Act, Federal Deposit Insurance Act, International Banking Act and Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and their implementing regulations, allows him to strategically advise clients on a broad range of policy, legislative, regulatory, transactional, corporate governance, enforcement and other matters.  He regularly represents clients before the federal financial services regulatory agencies and state banking departments on a variety of matters, including regulatory applications, notices and other submissions in connection with mergers, acquisitions, minority investments and other transactions, chartering or licensing initiatives, control and non-control determinations, and enforcement matters.  He also regularly advises clients in the establishment of commercial relationships to offer products and services and associated rewards programs, as well as the creation and development of new deposit, credit, investment and payments products and services, and related regulatory and consumer compliance matters.

Mr. Cabral advises traditional banks and financial institutions, as well as FinTechs and other companies, on issues related to their digital assets strategies.  He advises clients in the development of their own digital assets products and services and related commercial relationships, as well other strategic initiatives in this space.  Mr. Cabral’s extensive regulatory background is invaluable, particularly as the digital assets space receives increasing federal and state legislative and regulatory oversight.
