Fred B. Burnside

Fred Burnside concentrates his complex civil litigation practice on matters related to class-action defense, consumer financial services, and commercial litigation. His more than two decades as an attorney is distinguished by significant victories in state and federal trial and appellate courts, particularly in actions challenging banking fees and services.

Since successfully defending a pioneer class action lawsuit over insufficient funds (NSF) fee practices, Fred has represented dozens of major financial service providers facing similar claims. He also has the rare experience of taking a financial services class action through a jury trial—and winning. With an established track record of securing outright victory or favorable settlements, Fred has become the go-to attorney for consumer financial service providers facing class action lawsuits challenging fees charged by banks and credit unions.

His leadership at DWT includes serving as the co-chair of the Class Action Defense group and co-chair of the Consumer Financial Services Litigation industry team, and he previously served as the firm’s Deputy Chair of the Litigation Department, Executive Committee member, and on the firm’s Share (Compensation) Committee. He is a co-chair of the ABA’s Annual National Institute on Class Actions, editor of the ABA Class Action Committee’s Annual Survey of State Class Action Litigation, and a member of the American Law Institute.


Chris Walczyszyn advises banks, fintechs, and other financial industry clients on regulatory and enforcement matters related to state and federal consumer financial laws. Chris focuses his practice on responding to regulatory examinations and defending government enforcement actions. He has experience representing various financial institutions before the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Reserve Board, and other federal and state regulators.

Chris also counsels clients in the lending, payments, e-commerce, and consumer financial spheres on compliance with a range of laws including ECOA, TILA, EFTA, GLBA, FCRA, ESIGN, and laws prohibiting unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.
