Overview

Our attorneys focus on financial institutions on a daily basis and work to know your business, management team, competitors, market, regulators, customers, employees, and community. With our industry-specific focus and our years in the field, we are known and respected by banks, outside counsel at other firms and regulators across the country.

Our team focuses on acquisitions and sales, as well as corporate governance, regulatory, compliance and securities matters for more than 300 financial institution clients. In addition, we have a large number of attorneys in our firm who regularly provide litigation, lending, work-out, bankruptcy, employment law, employee benefits, fintech investment, emerging payments and prepaid cards, environmental, intellectual property, tax, technology and outsourcing, fiduciary law (including personal estate planning for bankers), real estate and REITs, white collar crime and similar legal advice for our financial institution clients. We enjoy being able to say that whatever problem a banker may have, we have a lawyer who has worked on a similar problem for a banker.

Our broad experience, coupled with our innovative solutions and our long standing ties to regulators, trade associations and service providers, make us invaluable assets to our clients who seek counsel for the following types of matters, among others:

Settlement Showdown – have you really settled your claim?

In Bin Obaid v Al-Hezaimi [2024] EWCA Civ 612, the Court of Appeal upheld a High Court decision in finding that subsequent claims did not fall within the scope of claims which were released under an earlier settlement deed. It is a timely reminder of the need to pay careful attention to the drafting of release clauses and the way in which the “Claims” being settled are defined. This judgment suggests that the Courts will be slow to give a release clause an unduly wide interpretation, even when on its face, the release appears typically all-encompassing.
