Financial Institutions
We serve as counsel to a large number of bank and savings and loan holding companies, national banks, Ohio state-chartered banks, and state and federal savings banks and savings and loan associations and assist those clients in complying with the maze of federal and state laws and regulations that apply to financial institutions. In addition, we counsel publicly held financial institution holding companies in connection with their Securities and Exchange Commission filing requirements and other compliance obligations, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Our firm has represented many financial institutions in mergers, acquisitions, and the formation of new charters and holding companies. Our engagements for financial institution clients also have included representation in connection with sales of branches and complex commercial loans, including loan participations. We also advise clients with respect to the integration of financial services, including issues related to the sale of insurance and securities products by financial institutions and by third parties.
Our lawyers skillfully represent financial institutions who become embroiled in litigation – whether the action involves common law “lender liability” claims, claims under the RICO and securities laws, corporate governance issues, or compliance with state and federal consumer protection statutes. In addition, we assist our financial institution clients in their intellectual property matters.
