Print PDF Financial Institutions Litigation

Our firm’s extensive experience in representing national and state chartered banks and other financial institutions – in transactions, in regulatory matters, in litigation, and in many other circumstances – gives our litigators unique insight into the issues facing banks and financial institutions.  That insight and experience translate into effective and efficient representation by trial lawyers who are knowledgeable about matters such as the visitorial powers and preemption doctrines that are raised in lawsuits against national banks and the complex regulatory schemes that apply to financial institutions. Our litigators work closely with Vorys attorneys practicing in other areas to ensure that the firm’s collective knowledge regarding the unique issues facing banks and financial institutions is brought to bear in all cases we litigate for our clients.

Our trial lawyers represent banks and financial institutions in disputes spanning a broad spectrum of issues, including cases brought under the Uniform Commercial Code, under various state and federal consumer protection statutes, and under a host of other statutes and regulations that apply to financial institutions.  We represent lenders in actions brought by and against borrowers in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts throughout the country.  Our attorneys regularly litigate commercial disputes involving complex transactions, as well as consumer and commercial matters involving claims of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, fraud, predatory lending, and lender liability.  We also represent financial institutions in class actions, multi-district litigation, and other complex, multi-party matters that arise from consumer complaints and commercial disputes. 

Banks and financial institutions also face the full panoply of claims that may be brought against other, non-banking entities.  Our lawyers therefore have represented banks in employment discrimination disputes, in claims alleging securities fraud or violation of various securities laws, in claims brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and in many other types of employment and business disputes.
