Banking Law
At the Intersection of Banks, Business and Law
McGlinchey Stafford attorneys represent commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions conducting business nationally and regionally.
We provide complete regulatory guidance on compliance with federal and state banking laws and regulations. Often our attorneys act as a liaison with bank regulatory agencies.
For banks and financial institutions in disputes and litigation challenges, our attorneys represent clients in audits, administrative proceedings and court hearings.
In one litigation matter, our attorneys represented a syndicate of eighteen banks led by a Texas-based national bank with claims aggregating over one billion dollars. We achieved a favorable client outcome through the vigorous contest of the bank’s security interests.
Our banking law practice services include:
- Preparation of standard form loan and deposit account agreements
- Perfecting and enforcing real estate and personal property security interests
- Training of bank officers and administrative personnel
- Litigation and administrative enforcement proceedings
- Defense of lender liability, breach of contract and identity theft claims
- Formation of bank holding companies
Business Counsel to Banks
As a business-focused firm, we also advise banks in their own transactions and business strategies, including in mergers and acquisitions and activities involving investments, capitalization and securities.
Increasingly, banks seek to increase their customer base by developing new products. McGlinchey Stafford’s banking law attorneys support these growth strategies.
We have significant experience managing the licensing, regulatory and legal issues involved in product launches across all fifty states for national financial institutions. Additionally, our attorneys counsel banks on bank-sponsored mutual fund, insurance and annuity products.
