Regulatory Compliance & Defense

Our Banking and Financial Institutions Group is familiar with banking regulations and requirements and can advise regulated financial entities on their obligations under local, state and federal laws and regulations including the scope of legally authorized banking and non-banking activities, inter-state activities, consumer and commercial lending and deposit-taking activities, advertising, anti-money laundering requirements, Bank Secrecy Act and Patriot Act compliance, as well as corporate governance issues.

At those times when it becomes necessary to respond to proposed regulatory action, our attorneys are ready to provide representation to both individuals and entities before the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision and other state banking regulators. The financial services industry has always been highly regulated and our Banking and Financial Institutions Group is dedicated to providing the advice and counsel that individuals and institutions need to stay on the road to success.
