Business Transactions

Bank Regulation and Enforcement

With the support of our respected transactional practice, our bank regulatory team advises financial institutions on the full range of corporate transactions. We regularly counsel clients on issues under the banking and consumer finance laws in connection with mergers, acquisitions, restructuring, outsourcing and capital markets transactions involving banks, bank holding companies, consumer finance companies and other financial institutions. In addition to our experience in mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions, we have particularly extensive knowledge of outsourcing arrangements, investments in consumer finance and FinTech companies, and co-branded card arrangements.
