LeClairRyan’s Banking Industry Team consists of professionals from our many offices who are experienced in and dedicated to understanding and serving the banking industry. Many team members have been employed by financial institutions. We strive to serve the industry thinking like bankers, not lawyers.
Our Banking Industry Team advises national and regional commercial banks, mezzanine and sub-debt lenders, major investment-banking houses, and community banks.
Members of the team represent financial institutions with lending transactions, litigation in state or federal courts, creditors’ rights, employment matters, and TARP funding. The team assists in management of large-scale document and electronic discovery generated through litigation and regulatory investigations. We provide counseling with evolving regulatory compliance issues, and assist in rapid planning and execution in order to take advantage of market opportunities.
Attorneys on the team are experienced in lending transactions, including commercial and private bank lending, real estate and asset based lending, syndications, intercreditors, aircraft and art secured lending, and multi-currency facilities.
The team’s bankruptcy attorneys represent lenders with workouts, real estate and UCC foreclosures, and provide representation in bankruptcy proceedings.
Financial institutions engage our team’s experienced litigators to assist with matters involving fraud, check kiting, lender liability, securities and consumer claims.
Other attorneys focus on advising community banks with formation, capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and proxy matters.
As the banking industry emerges from the dramatic financial services re-set with a new landscape in its place, our Banking Industry Team is poised to guide banks in adapting to become market leaders.
