Banking and Finance Litigation

Our Banking and Finance Litigation section has a unique combination of industry knowledge and legal experience in the many areas in which banks, brokerages, and other financial services institutions may be involved in litigation. Our clients include some of the nation's largest banks and institutional lenders (such as US Bank, Bank One, General Electric Credit), and public and private companies of all sizes.

Our attorneys have in-depth knowledge, not only of the law, but also of the business of our financial services industry clients. We have the combination of legal expertise and industry knowledge that enables us to understand thoroughly technical issues and explain them to the non-specialist judges, juries, or arbitrators who decide cases. This combination helps our clients achieve excellent results in an efficient manner.

Our experience includes representation of financial institutions in class actions throughout the United States over such issues as loan documentation or lending practices; banks and other lending and financial services clients in cases involving returned, forged, irregular and NSF checks; lenders seeking to realize on collateral including foreclosure and replevin and to recover monies owed by obligors and guarantors; and banks and other lenders who offer traditional and non-traditional banking services when they are accused of breaches of fiduciary duty, negligence, or other torts.

We have handled these matters locally, regionally, and throughout the United States in state and federal courts, before arbitration panels, and in administrative agencies or other tribunals.

Our Banking and Finance Litigation section has the right combination of legal experience and industry knowledge whether your matter is a specific local transaction or a complex nationwide lawsuit.
