Drew Bach is a corporate, regulatory, and compliance attorney who advises family offices, multi-family offices, financial institutions, investment firms, and private companies on corporate transactions, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, alternative investments, and governance matters. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in the financial services industry, he helps clients navigate the legal and operational challenges that arise where private capital, business ownership, and regulatory oversight intersect.

Family offices face a unique combination of legal, business, and governance challenges as they oversee privately held businesses, investment portfolios, and multigenerational wealth. As these organizations become more complex, legal issues increasingly involve corporate governance, regulatory compliance, tax, employment, risk management, succession planning, and strategic transactions. Drew helps family offices develop coordinated legal strategies that preserve wealth, support growth, manage risk, and advance long-term family objectives.

Prior to joining the firm, Drew served as the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) Officer for a large local community bank, where he led the development and oversight of the Bank’s BSA, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and OFAC compliance programs, advised senior leadership and the Board of Directors on regulatory risk, and delivered legal support to the General Counsel on matters ranging from contract review to litigation. Over the course of his career, he has participated in more than 30 regulatory examinations, audits, both internal and external investigations, and system validations, and has played key compliance roles in transformative projects including core system conversions, transaction monitoring implementations, and institutional mergers. Drew holds two professional designations: Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) and Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM). These credentials reflect his commitment to excellence in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

Drew is an active member of the broader compliance and legal community. He serves as an executive board member of the ACAMS New York Chapter and sits on the New York City Bar Association’s Compliance Committee, where he helps advocate for the compliance profession and advance awareness of emerging regulatory developments.
