Partner Keith Noreika was quoted in an IFLR article titled “Fed's regulatory alignment is logical but complicated,” which discusses the Federal Reserve’s proposal to align the regulatory standards imposed on non-US banks in the US with domestic banks.

Activities that may normally make a domestic bank look risky, like cross-border transactions, may not be so risky in the context of a foreign bank."
