Finance and banking are heavily regulated, and the future of the industry remains uncertain. Advances in technology, legislative changes and other disruptions also come with new vulnerabilities and pain points that often require complex safeguards and more meaningful legal counsel.

We also have experience addressing fintech and regtech needs for clients. This includes cutting-edge payment technology and processing as well as cryptocurrency, including bitcoin, blockchain and other digital currency matters.

The financial institutions we represent vary greatly, including international, regional and community banks, bank and thrift holding companies, federal and state savings and loan associations and savings banks, trust companies, asset-based lenders, credit unions, mortgage and investment bankers, insurance companies, tax credit equity investors and more.
