Banks and Financial Institutions

Powell, Trachtman attorneys have substantial experience in the representation of banks and financial institutions.

Our transactional attorneys understand the lending process, and the documentation that is required from the lender's point of view. For instance, we have the expertise, experience and the technical capabilities to efficiently prepare the complex documents that are required to secure a borrower's obligations in an asset-based financing, to nail down guarantee arrangements, and to otherwise protect the lender.

We have substantial experience in the work-out arena as well. And, when necessary, our commercial litigators can develop creative approaches to the collection process. For instance, we have successfully "pierced the corporate veil" and pursued "alter ego" theories in many cases, we have handled a variety of fraudulent conveyance cases, and we have obtained recoveries against defendants thought to be without assets. We also know how to represent banks and financial institutions in internal matters, from the defense of lender liability and other claims, to training personnel in litigation-avoidance techniques, to the review of standard forms and procedures.

Banks and financial institutions frequently refer their individual clients to us for estate planning assistance, and their business clients to us for shareholder agreements, employment agreements, purchase and sale agreements, real estate acquisitions or leasing, choice of entity advice, and general business counseling.
