When our mid-sized investment advisory firm faced a multi-agency regulatory inquiry from both the SEC and a state banking authority, the situation felt overwhelming. We engaged Allison Raley at Arnall Golden Gregory, and it was the best decision we could have made. Allison’s dual recognition in Financial Services Regulation and Securities Regulation was immediately evident. She didn't just react to the regulators' requests; she proactively built a comprehensive strategy that addressed the core concerns from both a securities and a banking compliance perspective. Her three years of focused experience in this niche meant she was incredibly efficient, avoiding theoretical tangents and focusing on practical, defensible solutions. Allison translated complex regulatory language into clear business impacts for our team, which was invaluable. Her professionalism under pressure and her ability to maintain a collaborative, rather than adversarial, dialogue with the examiners was masterful. The outcome was a favorable resolution with no enforcement action, which preserved our firm's reputation and operational continuity. Allison is more than a lawyer; she's a strategic partner who deeply understands the intersection of finance and regulation in the D.C. and Baltimore markets. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any entity navigating the complexities of financial services law.
