Tom Buiteweg advises financial institutions, sales finance companies, motor vehicle dealers, and manufacturers on motor vehicle and personal property financing, leasing, and regulatory compliance. With more than 30 years of experience, he also counsels FinTech and financial services companies on structuring and maintaining electronic financial services programs. Tom serves as Chair of the Michigan Commission on Uniform State Laws and as Treasurer and Executive Committee Member of the ULC, where his leadership has contributed to key developments in areas such as virtual currency regulation, highly automated vehicles, and revisions to the UCC.
