Attorneys
Banking
There is an advantage to being a good lawyer who is also a good banker. We know. Several of our attorneys are, by virtue of their former careers and their current role as directors on bank boards. They use their firsthand knowledge of the industry to achieve superior results for many of our commercial bank and lending institution clients in our region.
Reaping the benefits of teamwork
We combine what we know about banking with our extensive experience in practicing law to create a team approach. Your connection to a lead attorney—who is up-to-date on every aspect of your project—is direct. Others provide efficient support, particularly on lease and loan documentation. The result blends high-quality legal advice with cost-effective service and a timely response.
Covering the environmental aspect
Since so many transactions have an environmental component, we use our significant experience in environmental law at the federal, state, and local levels to the advantage of our banking clients. When necessary, we call on our extensive network of relationships within regulatory agencies for prompt access to the right decision makers.
