Hudson Cook LLP — provider of legal compliance services for the financial services industry — announced this week it has added a new partner.

The firm has promoted Allen Denson to partner in its Washington, D.C. office.

Allen has been an associate with the firm since January 2014.

In particular, the new partner represents financial institutions and other creditors in investigations and litigation with federal financial regulators, specifically the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. 

Prior to his time with Hudson Cook, Allen serves as a senior attorney in the Enforcement & Compliance Division of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency from 2009 to 2014.

“Allen is a tremendous asset to the firm and our clients, and we are thrilled to have him as our partner.  Not only is he a talented litigator, he is a thoughtful and generous colleague who makes significant contributions to both the bottom line and the firm's collaborative culture,” said Michael Benoit, chairman at Hudson Cook.
