The regulatory and compliance attorneys of Foster Swift have substantial experience in guiding their clients in the various areas of regulations and applications. We assist in steering the proper path of compliance and best practices. We say abreast of the ever-developing regulations which affect community-based and regional financial institutions.
We assist our clients in their applications for de novo banks, mergers & acquisitions, formation and expansion, branch expansions, stock redemptions, nonbank activities, change in control, bank service companies, changes in boards and management, and other applications requiring approval by or notice to a regulator.
