Banking

We have an extensive background in professional liability matters, often times at the pre-litigation investigation stage, having represented directors and officers of financial institutions, attorneys, accountants and real estate appraisers who have performed professional services on behalf of financial institutions. We also have considerable experience handling lender liability, mechanic’s liens, construction defect and insurance cases on behalf of financial institutions. We deal with all aspects of creditor representation in bankruptcy proceedings, including seeking relief from the automatic stay, obtaining sequestration of rents, participating in creditors’ committees and securing dismissal of bad faith filings.

Our attorneys are savvy about the effective use of seasoned experts in this area and know how and where to find the best talent. We are accustomed to working within strict client budgets and billing guidelines to ensure cost-effective solutions to legal disputes, including “high stakes” litigation. Whether litigating a case aggressively, or seeking a form of alternative dispute resolution, we strive to keep our clients well-informed, and to minimize the intrusive effect on our clients and their officers and directors.
