Cadwalader partner Mercedes Tunstall was recently appointed to Law360's 2026 FinTech editorial advisory board, as announced by the publication.
Mercedes, named a 2026 "Leading Dealmaker in America" for Financial Regulation by Lawdragon, is a leading innovator in financial services regulation. She advises banks, lenders, payments companies, digital asset firms and fintechs on how to integrate new technologies — including artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, distributed ledgers and digital assets — into financial products and services in a compliant manner. She regularly counsels clients on deposits, stablecoins, payments and defends clients against enforcement actions by regulators such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.
Mercedes is a go-to source on FinTech and crypto regulation. She recently spoke with Inside Mortgage Finance about the CFPB's decision to rescind its lawsuit against the National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts, and with Wired about the relationship between banks and crypto amid claims of a government conspiracy to cut crypto firms off from banking services (Chokepoint 2.0). She has also been recognized by Chambers USA and The Legal 500 as a leader in consumer financial services regulation and compliance.
