Financial Services

Financial services clients have been an important part of our focus since 1980.  We represent some of the region's thriving commercial banks, the financial arms of multinational conglomerates, private equity funds, hedge funds, broker/dealers and brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, leasing companies, specialty finance companies (such as structured settlement factoring companies), and investment trusts.  Our philosophy and approach in serving them is to be ever mindful of our clients’ ultimate strategic objectives as well as their immediate bottom line needs.

Our work on their behalf includes serving as litigation counsel and all types of transactional representation, including commercial finance, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, and immigration, among others.  From negotiating and documenting credit facilities, to workouts, foreclosures, litigation regarding loan defaults, non-compete agreements, and arbitrations (including FINRA arbitrations) we provide a full range of services to this important sector.
