Davis Wright Adds Consumer Financial Services Attorney Peter Cubita in New York
Peter N. Cubita has joined Davis Wright Tremaine as counsel in its New York office.
Cubita joins the firm from Ballard Spahr, where he was of counsel.
“Peter is widely and rightly regarded as one of the ‘deans’ of the closed-end bar, and we’re thrilled that he’s chosen to join our team,” said Claude Goetz, chair of DWT’s consumer finance practice.
Three months ago, DWT added Bradford Hardin, also a practitioner in fair-lending and closed-end credit matters. Hardin joined the practice from WilmerHale in Washington, D.C.
“The additions of Peter and Bradford over the past few months have significantly broadened and deepened our capabilities in fair-lending and closed-end credit matters, both in counseling and advocacy contexts. These additions were driven largely by the expressed needs of our market-leading clients,” noted Goetz.
The firm said Cubita’s experience includes regulatory compliance, transactional, governmental enforcement, and class action matters, with experience in the motor vehicle retail finance and leasing areas.
Previously, Cubita worked as an in-house attorney at Ally Financial Inc., and was at Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
