Advice to senior national bank regulator officials on significant legal, policy and administrative matters affecting the federal banking system will be among the duties of Brian P. Hudak, named new deputy chief counsel of the agency, it said Wednesday.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) said that advice will include on such issues as management and oversight over the OCC’s enforcement, litigation, and internal agency matters.
Hudak joins the office after having served as a federal prosector, the OCC said. His most recent position was as civil chief at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. The OCC said there he oversaw and supervised litigation of thousands of civil defensive and affirmative matters.
Before that, the OCC said, Hudak was in the U.S. Attorney’s Office as deputy civil chief and as line assistant U.S. Attorney in the civil division. For 18 years there, OCC said, he handled volumes of high-profile civil defensive cases, collected more than $1 billion in recoveries in civil enforcement lawsuits, and disrupted hundreds of millions of dollars in assets traced to terrorist and trans-national criminal organizations.
Hudak served in private practice in New York before his federal positions, the agency said.
He earned a B.S. in computer science from the University of Virginia and his J.D (cum laude) from Washington & Lee University School of Law.
