Our Practice

Corporate Challenges

No matter how well a financial institution is managed, there are occasions where the institution will face unusual challenges. These may come from a variety of sources, including bank regulatory actions, shareholder proxy fights, management changes, adverse publicity affecting the institution's reputation, and lawsuits.

We have represented financial institutions on a variety of corporate challenges, including bank regulatory actions, proxy contests, hostile takeover attempts, and senior management firings. We help develop a strategy that will effectively respond to the crisis, and will guide companies through the morass of securities laws and regulations to help assure that the company is acting consistent with such laws and regulations.
