BRG Expands Markets Compliance Team with Three New Hires
Business Research Group (BRG) has added three senior professionals to its Financial Institution Advisory practice, strengthening its Markets Compliance group. Conway Dodge, Michael Sullivan, and Richard Patterson bring extensive experience in regulatory enforcement, compliance consulting, and legal policy across the financial services industry. The new hires are based in Washington, D.C., and will support clients regulated by entities such as the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, and NFA. Paul Noring, leader of BRG's FIA practice, emphasized that markets compliance is a growing area for the firm due to increasingly complex regulatory demands. The new team members have deep expertise in enforcement matters, compliance program design, and risk management across traditional financial institutions and digital asset firms. Their backgrounds include roles at KPMG, Promontory Financial Group (IBM Consulting), FINRA, SEC, and PCAOB. BRG aims to continue expanding its Markets Compliance group with additional experts from the wealth and asset management sectors. The firm positions itself as a leader in combining academic expertise, business acumen, and emerging technologies to address complex regulatory challenges for global clients.
