Treliant Risk Advisors, a leading compliance, risk management,
and strategic advisory firm specializing in the financial services
industry, announced today that Terry Goddard, former Attorney
General of Arizona, has joined Treliant as Senior Advisor. An
accomplished executive, attorney, and elected official, Terry
brings to Treliant extensive knowledge and experience in the areas
of consumer protection, anti-money laundering, privacy and
information security, mortgage-related fraud, investor protection,
and civil and criminal litigation.
Terry served as Mayor of Phoenix for four consecutive terms,
from 1984 to 1990, and he was the Arizona Director for the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from 1995 to
2002. Terry was elected Attorney General for the State of Arizona

the mortgage industry and related matters. Terry was also a Board

consumer lending and privacy issues, Terry will significantly
deepen Treliant’s ability to provide clients with the tools to
address the significant concerns of the enforcement and regulatory
community,” said Andrew L. Sandler, Chief Executive Officer of
Treliant Risk Advisors. “We are delighted to welcome Terry to our
team.”
“This is a new era of enforcement,” said Terry Goddard. “The
financial services industry will be challenged by the coordinated
efforts of state and federal enforcement actions focused on a range
of issues, and it is important now, more than ever before, for
financial services industry companies to ensure they operate in a
fair and responsible manner when providing products and services to
consumers. I look forward to working with the Treliant team in
their efforts to assist their clients in meeting these new
challenges.”
Terry was the 2010 recipient of the Kelley-Wyman Award from the
National Association of Attorneys General, and he is a 2012
