Emerging Tech & AI in Financial Services

Advise on cutting-edge AI initiatives, including regulatory and privacy considerations for Walmart’s internal AI platforms, which supports thousands of AI applications company-wide.

Offer legal guidance for AI-driven financial tools—such as “super agents” (e.g., customer assistants like "Sparky")—that personalize user experiences and enhance payments, loyalty, and fintech engagement.

Counsel on the implementation of AI-powered fraud detection, risk management, and anomaly detection systems within financial services and fintech operations, ensuring compliance with data privacy and consumer protection laws.

Ensure compliance with core consumer financial regulations—RegE, RegZ, ECOA, FCRA, FDCPA, UDAAP, AML / fraud, remittance laws, TCPA, EFTA, GLBA, and licensing regimes.

Advise on implementation of compliant electronic signature processes (E-Sign Act, UETA, UCC) across lending, card issuance, digital onboarding, and disclosures.

Partner with data privacy and security teams to apply global privacy standards (GLBA, GDPR, CCPA / CPRA, Safeguards Rule) across financial services.

Supplier & Commercial Contracts

Analyze and manage supplier and partner agreements, addressing exclusivity, territorial / channel restrictions, affiliate data sharing, agent‑principal dynamics, and corporate governance for spending authority.
