Banking

There is an advantage to being a good lawyer who is also a good banker. Several of our attorneys are just that, by virtue of their former careers in the banking field. They use their firsthand knowledge of the industry to achieve superior results.

We continue to build on our significant experience in our capacity as counsel to commercial banks and lending institutions. These efforts include:

• Commercial and real estate related loan (and bankruptcy and loan workout and restructuring) transactions

• Negotiation and structuring loan commitments

• Preparation, negotiation, and closing for each loan transaction

• Bank holding company laws

• Corporate trust and investment advisory services

• Credit union laws

• Federal and state regulatory compliance

• Financial institution litigation

• Lender liability issues

Reaping the benefits of teamwork

We combine what we know about banking with our extensive legal experience to create a team approach. You have a direct connection to a lead attorney—who is up-to-date on every aspect of your project. Others members of our team provide efficient support, particularly on lease and loan documentation. The result blends high-quality legal advice with cost-effective service and a timely response.

Covering the environmental aspect

Since so many transactions have an environmental component, we use our significant experience in environmental law at the federal, state, and local levels to the advantage of our banking clients.
