Regulatory and Enforcement Matters

Schiff Hardin attorneys regularly counsel our financial institutions clients on their regulatory obligations, including:

Capital requirements
Examination issues
Consumer credit disclosure requirements
Restrictions on lending activities
Branching
Affiliate transactions
Insurance
Other non-banking activities

Our firm also is experienced in representing financial institutions in enforcement matters involving supervisory agreements, cease and desist orders, civil money penalties and other sanctions sometimes imposed for violation of law or unsafe and unsound practices.

Counseling directors and officers on their regulatory responsibilities — and their potential liabilities — has become an increasingly important part of our practice. When necessary, we are able to defend individuals and institutions in both civil and criminal actions, relating to banking and other financial laws.
