Banking & Finance

Overview

After facing the financial crisis and then years of sustained economic growth, saying that the past few years have challenged the banking industry would be an understatement. But as financial institutions of all sizes navigate our evolving economic environment, which includes thousands of pages of regulations to comply with, they face even more challenges. These issues include blending risk management into day-to-day operations; confronting innovative non-bank competition and technology changes; and creating growth and profitability within today’s fluctuating interest rate landscape. As such, it is critical that banking stakeholders partner with attorneys who intimately understand their clients’ concerns and have the broad experience needed to drive results.
