We provide a full spectrum of legal services for all types of financial institutions. Our clients include banks and bank-holding companies, credit unions and credit union service organizations, savings and loan associations, trust companies, mortgage companies and other suppliers of financial services. We provide representation in the chartering, sale, merger and acquisition of banks, credit unions and other related financial institutions, compliance with federal and state banking and credit union laws and regulations, and interaction with federal and state regulatory agencies, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the National Credit Union Administration. We represent financial institutions in many transactional areas, including inventory financing, floor plan financing for automobile dealers, automobile and equipment leasing, commercial and consumer real estate loans and all forms of asset-based financing and secured transactions. Representation is provided to financial institutions in connection with the drafting and negotiation of data processing agreements, software license agreements, computer system purchases, the sale of nondeposit investment products, loan underwriting and servicing, indirect lending and leasing programs, trust services, and development of electronic banking products and services. In addition to the transactional practice, attorneys in the financial institution practice group handle workouts and restructuring of problem loans and foreclosures. In cooperation with our Litigation Department, we provide representation of financial institutions in all forms of litigation, including major collection matters, bankruptcy, lender liability claims and shareholder disputes.
