Nakita Cuttino writes at the intersection of financial regulation, financial markets, and society. Her research explores how markets, and the laws that define them, shape economic inequality and other complex public policy matters. She surfaces frictions between finance and society that are not always readily apparent in consumer credit markets, corporate debt markets, and monetary policy. Her work has appeared in leading law reviews, including the Michigan Law Review, Florida Law Review, and Northwestern University Law Review.

Prior to joining Georgetown Law, Professor Cuttino was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Duke University School of Law. Previously, she practiced as a corporate associate with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP in the firm’s Houston and New York offices, specializing in complex corporate lending transactions and securities offerings. Before joining Simpson Thacher, she served as a law clerk to Judge Eric L. Clay of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Professor Cuttino received her J.D. from Duke University School of Law and her B.B.A., magna cum laude, from Howard University.
