Lindsay Oak joins Frost Brown Todd as Consumer Finance Partner in Columbus Office
Frost Brown Todd (FBT) has expanded its Columbus office with the addition of Lindsay Oak as a Partner in the Business Department’s Commercial Finance Practice Group.
Lindsay Oak is a seasoned consumer financial services attorney, specializing in banking and credit union law, consumer and mortgage lending, licensing, money transmission, and payment systems. She also works with fintech providers to integrate technology with traditional banking and lending products. Earlier in her career, Oak served as in-house counsel at The Huntington National Bank, one of the nation’s largest full-service banking franchises.
Timothy Wieher, who leads FBT’s Consumer Finance Practice Group in Columbus, said,
“Lindsay’s extensive in-house counsel experience gives her unique perspective not only on clients’ regulatory risks and compliance priorities, but also how to align their legal needs with business goals. She will be an invaluable resource as we continue to navigate today’s complex and fast-evolving compliance challenges.”
Oak’s practice spans a variety of consumer financial services and regulatory matters for banks, mortgage lenders, credit unions, installment lenders, fintech providers, money transmitters, and commercial lenders. She advises on a broad range of federal and state laws including the Truth in Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act, SAFE Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
She has defended clients in CFPB enforcement actions, HUD investigations, and state mortgage and money transmitter licensing enforcement actions. Oak also counsels on fair lending matters, redlining and appraisal discrimination risk, and analyzes clients’ mortgage lending data to strengthen fair lending programs.
Lindsay Oak said,
“Frost Brown Todd has a strong national platform and an exceptional consumer finance team in Ohio and beyond. Regulatory compliance remains a pervasive challenge for businesses, especially as technology rapidly continues to advance, and states have heightened their regulatory scrutiny and licensing requirements. Navigating this landscape demands innovation and unwavering vigilance and adaptability. I’m excited to join the firm’s powerhouse financial services team to help clients stay at the forefront of these challenges.”
Oak earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley and her Juris Doctor from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. She has also served as an executive board member for 1girl, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering middle school girls to develop leadership skills for future success.
