Financial Services

Nostalgia is not a strategy for financial services companies today. Profound changes in law, technology and financial markets make continuous reassessment of business methods and strategies essential. For regulated banks and insurance companies, changes in business methods and strategies inevitably have complex and interrelated legal implications. The increased incidence of irregular transactions and outright fraud makes it all the more important that banks and insurance companies implement effective strategies to prevent or mitigate such losses. Keevican Weiss & Bauerle's professionals have significant first hand experience helping bank and insurance clients recover from potential or actual losses, including situations in which the institution itself was imperiled. The knowledge and experience of Keevican Weiss & Bauerle LLC's seasoned professionals give clients the framework they need to define their future with confidence.

Our experience includes the following:

• Created the largest de novo bank in American banking history, when measured by initial capitalization. Rescued troubled institutions, including providing interim management, recapitalization, loan workout and balance sheet restructuring services.
• Acted as lenders counsel, restructuring counsel, or both, in secured and unsecured financing transactions involving nearly every Top 50 bank located north of the Mason Dixon line.
• Negotiated regulatory agreements and orders that averted or reduced fines, sanctions or both for our clients.
• Structured mergers and acquisitions that helped clients expand or consolidate their franchises.
