We close innovative transactions and financings and help banks overcome obstacles and maximize opportunities to achieve business goals.

We assist banking clients around the world to address global economic challenges, grow through acquisitions, invest across industries, and manage global workforces. Our experience includes advising on the integration of technological innovations in banking such as Gen AI, open data, and the digitization of money. We assist in identifying, structuring, and monetizing new value sources through revenue model testing, adapting to changes in investment banking, and advising new entrants to the banking industry. We counsel clients in the structuring of capital markets transactions and support them as they respond to changes in regulatory frameworks and workforces globally—helping to ensure that they are equipped to meet evolving risks and demands in the banking industry.

Our lawyers conduct regulatory analyses and advise on capital and liquidity changes, deposit stabilization, loan growth, rising defaults, and the costs of retaining deposits amid fluctuating interest rates and digital competition.
