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:
