Daniel Prieve

Before joining private practice, Daniel served as Counsel with the OCC, where he was a trusted advisor to bank examiners, agency leadership, and the OCC’s Chartering, Organization and Structure department. He led the legal review of numerous bank merger and charter applications, including applications involving fintech companies and uninsured trust banks, and counseled on issues arising under federal banking laws and regulations. His experience also includes handling significant enforcement matters, conducting investigations, and advising on Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance issues.

Daniel has significant experience guiding complex regulatory matters from inception to resolution. He has drafted and negotiated enforcement actions, represented the OCC in appellate litigation, contributed to agency rulemaking and policy initiatives, and coordinated with other federal agencies, including the FDIC, Federal Reserve, CFPB, and SEC. His practical understanding of how regulators evaluate risk, compliance, and corporate transactions enables him to provide strategic, business-focused guidance to clients operating in highly regulated environments.
