Claritas Banking and Finance team is characterized by a solid understanding of the workings of the Banking and Finance sector, its ability to proffer solutions to achieve clients’ objectives, and its practical approach to tackling clients’ issues as they arise. Our team of lawyers counsel clients on the unique and particularly complex legal needs of this sector. We demonstrate overwhelming competence in this field by providing experienced, proactive guidance to financial institutions on a broad spectrum of legal issues, including regulatory compliance, risk assessments, business transactions, complex lending transactions, bankruptcy and restructuring matters, corporate trust transactions and disputes, consumer financial matters, chartering & licensing, capital or liquidity requirements, restrictions on investments or activities, financial reporting, business conduct requirements, investors’ protection, consumers’ protection, merger and acquisitions, capital markets, insolvency, and other practices specific to financial institutions.

The Banking and Finance team has a grasp of the intricacies of the financial sector which enables us to offer sound legal advice and interpret regulations or ambiguities in the law to clients which include banking organizations, investment banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, FinTech enterprises, and other financial institutions. We also work with every part of the FinTech ecosystem and can help clear the hurdles—regulatory, organizational, and cultural—companies face when launching new products. We help clients identify potential pitfalls and emerging trends in the finance industry. By collaborating with clients, we deliver efficient service that focuses on helping them meet both legal and strategic goals.

We work closely with other related practices in the firm to provide a truly wholesome service experience to clients and to facilitate the smooth consummation of transactions. We handle all aspects of litigations for clients and in some cases participate in alternative dispute resolution as this often enables clients to reduce litigation costs and resolve differences quickly.
