Partner Ryan Scarborough will speak at the American Bankers Association Financial Crimes Enforcement Conference on October 14, 2025 in Arlington, Virginia.  This conference tackles financial crime with banker-focused solutions, offering expert insights, regulatory updates, and strategies.  Ryan’s panel, titled “The Enemy Within? Building a Unified Defense Against Insider Risk,” will discuss how financial institutions are integrating anti-money laundering, fraud, cyber, and conduct risk to detect red flags and manage insider risk.  The panel will also cover practical strategies for early detection, SAR filings, governance, and effective collaboration across teams through smarter data sharing.

Ryan draws upon his deep experience in both federal and state courts across the country to advise his clients and litigate their cases.  He regularly squares off against private litigants and government agencies, both offensively in challenging agency overreach and defensively when banks, financial services companies, and their directors and officers find themselves the target of enforcement actions, FDIC receivership lawsuits, or class actions.  Ryan frequently litigates against the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, and other financial regulatory agencies. He leads Williams & Connolly’s Directors & Officers Practice Group.
