About

HSBC North America is one of the US’s largest bank holding businesses, with services including retail banking and wealth management, mortgages, credit cards, insurance products and global markets. Leading a ‘talented and loyal internal team’, the ‘approachable and insightful’ Kristin Cantu focuses primarily on consumer mortgage lending litigation. ‘Kristin is supremely smart and direct,’ says Valerie Hletko of BuckleySandler LLP. ‘She gives outside counsel a great deal of matter ownership, but is effortlessly fluent in the facts and in very complex legal issues, providing defining direction in strategy discussions or on draft briefs’. Prior to joining HSBC, Cantu practiced at McDermott Will & Emery LLP 52047.
