About Brent
Brent Farley earned a B.S. from Utah State University in 2009 and a J.D. from Baylor Law School in 2013. His legal education combined classroom study with practical exposure to transactional work. He moved into practice at a time when regulatory change was reshaping banking and commercial lending.
Early in his career Farley became involved in Texas legal and banking circles. He has held memberships in the Independent Bankers Association of Texas since 2013, the Austin Bar Association since 2016 and the Texas Association of Bank Counsel since 2016. Those affiliations shaped the kinds of matters he handled: commercial loan documentation, lender-side risk assessments and regulatory compliance questions for locally focused banks.
In 2021 his professional footprint expanded to the Mountain West. He joined the Idaho State Bar that year and also became a member of the Idaho Bankers Association. Those moves reflect a practice that now spans two jurisdictions, Texas and Idaho. Colleagues say he balances an attention to statutory detail with concrete problem solving at the transactional table.
Farley’s work sits at the intersection of finance and law. He advises community and regional lenders on loan structuring, collateral issues and borrower workouts. He also handles documents and policies tied to state and federal banking rules. Clients range from small community banks to lending departments inside larger institutions. The work often requires coordinating with compliance officers and outside counsel across multiple states.
His professional memberships mirror that client mix. He keeps active ties to banking trade groups and local bar organizations. Those relationships provide a steady stream of practitioner-level discussion about evolving regulatory guidance and industry practice. Farley has used those forums to stay current on changes that affect lending operations and bank governance.
He practices from Farley Law, PLLC, which maintains a presence in both Texas and Idaho. The firm’s matters emphasize transactional representation for financial institutions and advisors to lenders on regulatory and commercial lending issues. He currently represents banks and other lending institutions on regulatory, transactional and commercial lending matters.
