Episode Thirty-Four: Why Your Banker Move Needs a Legal Game Plan – with Alex Temple
In this episode of the Non-Del Influencers Podcast, host Matt Coles sits down with Alex Temple, Partner at Mitchell Sandler LLP, to explore what every lender should know before making the move from broker to banker—and why compliance strategy should be your first conversation, not your last.
Alex brings deep legal and regulatory expertise to the table, sharing three powerful takeaways for Non-Delegated Lenders:
1️⃣ Start with strategic compliance – Don’t wait until the regulators show up. Build your policies and procedures now, so you’re ready long before the knock at the door.
2️⃣ Think creatively, plan proactively – You don’t need to have all the answers. Whether you're just exploring your options or already mapping out your operations, having the right partner helps you see around corners.
3️⃣ Get aligned, stay aligned – Work with legal advisors who not only understand the rules but also understand your business model and growth goals. Compliance isn’t just about avoiding penalties—it’s about setting a strong foundation for long-term success.
Whether you’re considering a shift to banker status or simply want to ensure your current operations are both strategic and compliant, this episode is packed with practical insights to guide your next steps.
