Financial Institutions and Securities Litigation

We achieve successful results because of our pragmatic and tenacious approach to litigation, as well as our constant focus on our clients’ strategic goals and priorities, including avoiding litigation wherever possible.

Financial Services

In our representation of financial services organizations, our litigators have wide-ranging experience, including many successful representations defending and prosecuting claims and counterclaims in class actions, lawsuits, and arbitrations throughout the country.  We have defended banks against claims arising from commercial and consumer loans, letters of credit, credit and security agreements, guaranties, depositary accounts, wire transfers, and automated clearing house transactions, fiduciary obligations, trust accounts, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, the Patriot Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.  Our experience covers the broad range of financial products typically offered by commercial banks and those provide services to financial institutions.  Our experience also includes advising and representing financial institutions about the ever-growing tangle of laws and regulations affecting lending, deposit accounts and other banking services.  We represent these same clients faced with inquiries and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including matters concerning audits.  We have experience defending claims brought under the federal statutes and regulations that govern consumer financial services, as well as those under state consumer finance laws and regulations including the Uniform Commercial Code, motor vehicle sales finance laws, and unfair and deceptive trade practices laws.
