Financial Services
For companies in the financial services industry, it is critical to engage legal counsel that understands the regulatory environment in which they operate and the business challenges they face. Our attorneys have decades of experience working with the full spectrum of financial services companies, including state- and nationally-chartered local, regional and national banks (public and private) and their holding companies; federal and state-chartered thrifts; agent banks; insurance companies and their holding companies; health maintenance organizations; preferred provider organizations; captive insurers; insurance brokers; insurance agencies; third-party administrators; representatives and investment advisors; trust companies; and brokerage firms.
For our financial services industry clients and others, we provide counsel in the areas of corporate and securities, regulatory and enforcement, debt finance and litigation on a wide range of needs, including:
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Regulatory and securities law compliance
- Entity formation and capital raising
- Enforcement proceedings
- Financial, insurance depository products
- Lending transactions
- Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
- Shareholder rights
- Financial services litigation
- Securities litigation and arbitration
- Insurance coverage disputes and litigation
- Restructuring and bankruptcy
Attorneys serving our financial services clients have received important accolades, including eight of our attorneys who are listed in A.M. Best's Directory of Recommended Insurance Attorneys. Chambers USA has consistently ranked Bass, Berry & Sims as one of the top banking and finance law firms in Tennessee for the past 17 years. In their research, Chambers concluded the firm is a "stellar outfit providing services across the financial services spectrum. It represents borrowers and lenders in matters ranging from commercial lending to regulatory compliance. It is experienced in handling large-scale transactions for a broad range of clients, including regional and national banks and private equity firms. It demonstrates expertise in debt refinancing and syndicated loans, as well as bank M&A and the formation of subsidiaries." Client feedback includes: "We have some highly complex transactions involving multiple entities and we wouldn't want to do it without our Bass team." (from Chambers USA 2024). Other clients describe the lawyers as "highly skilled and easy to work with," adding: "They take the time to understand our concerns and priorities." Sources say: "It is a very client-oriented firm and provides great service." Another client appreciates the firm's "top-tier service and performance." (from Chambers USA 2021).
