Dr. Adam Gailey is a principal in the Financial Economics Practice of CRA and is based in Washington, DC. He specializes in financial services litigation and regulatory compliance.
Since returning to CRA in 2012, he has worked on numerous DOJ and CFPB investigations, class-action lawsuits, and regulatory compliance cases. His cases typically involve providing statistical and economic analyses of large amounts of data. Dr. Gailey’s work has focused on issues related to the use of overdraft protection, indirect auto finance, redlining, and fair lending.

In addition to more traditional redlining and fair lending analyses, Dr. Gailey has a particular interest in the fair lending implications of AI, machine learning, and alternative data. Dr. Gailey has also provided guidance to FinTech’s on model documentation and validation policies and procedures.
