Thomas J. “Tom” Curry, Nutter, Boston

Nearly seven months after departing his top post at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Thomas Curry has landed at a Boston law firm.

Curry, who was integral in leading the federal banking regulator's efforts in advancing financial technology, including through the proposal of a special purpose national bank charter for fintechs, joined Nutter McClennen & Fish this week. He is a partner and will co-lead Nutter's Banking and Financial Services practice group.

“Tom's experience, insights and perspective will bring tremendous value to our banking, financial institution and fintech clients,” said Deborah Manus, a managing partner at the firm, in a press release Tuesday.
