It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved partner and friend, Jim Vann. Words fall short of capturing the legacy of leadership and dedication Jim brought to our firm over the years. We are deeply grateful for the ways he enriched our team, served our clients, and personally touched each of our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vann family during this difficult time. For those wishing to honor Jim’s memory, his obituary can be found at https://lnkd.in/eVYyW5xS.

Maury Shevin has served as a keynote speaker at four consumer finance association conferences this past summer and fall for six different state associations. Yesterday, he spoke to the Tennessee/Kentucky Consumer Finance Association Annual Convention in Miramar Beach, FL. Last week, Maury spoke to the Alabama Installment Lenders Association in Birmingham. And, in the last two months, he has spoken to the North Carolina Resident Lenders Association, and the combined meeting of the Mississippi Consumer Finance Association and the Louisiana Finance Association. Maury’s presentation to each has been on this summer’s developments with rule-making by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and important U.S. Supreme Court decisions—all of which are embroiling the consumer finance industry before this year’s presidential election.  #consumerfinance
