Retained by commercial and savings
banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations,
and law firms nationwide to provide strategic counseling
and defense litigation assistance in all types of regulatory
enforcement actions initiated against Federally insured
financial institutions and their authorized representatives.
Practice concentrates primarily on problems concerning
commercial bank regulation and related supervisory
enforcement issues, and includes the defense of receivership
actions initiated against directors and officers of
failed financial institutions. Professional contacts
are at the highest executive levels in both the government
and private sectors.
Practice is predicated upon comprehensive
knowledge and understanding of all Federal laws and
regulations applicable to insured commercial financial
institutions, Federal agency examination, regulatory
and enforcement policies, practices and procedures
relating to such institutions, as well as those pertaining
to bank receivership and liquidation activities, including
recapitalization and acquisition transactions involving
failing or closed commercial banks. Client satisfaction
is attributable to thorough knowledge and understanding
of applicable laws and regulations and to the utilization
of effective analytical, counseling, communication,
negotiation and litigation skills.
