 INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE 

Our Chambers-USA recognized lawyers serve as counsel for large financial institutions, giving us an insight into the day-to-day issues facing the industry. Through ongoing analysis of relevant state-by-state and national regulations, along with active involvement in industry organizations, our services span litigation, lending, regulatory and compliance, payment and investment systems, electronic finance, structured finance, special servicing, and more. By way of example, our attorneys recently prepared a 50-state survey for a global financial services company, analyzing laws to enable compliance across our client’s jurisdictions.

Our comprehensive coverage of the industry is reflected in the six teams within our Financial Services practice group: Commercial Lending; Creditor's Rights/Special Assets; Estate, Trust and Fiduciary Litigation; Commercial Financial Services Litigation; Consumer Financial Services Litigation; and Regulatory/Operations.

Adams and Reese serves as lead counsel on multiple nationally syndicated credits for one of the ten largest U.S. banks, with loans ranging from $10MM-$600MM across the South, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic. The representation encompasses litigation and transactional work such as modifications to existing credit agreements, litigation, bankruptcy representation, and collateral recovery.  

Adams and Reese attorneys routinely document our clients’ most challenging credit facilities. As an example, we represented a financial services company as lender in a senior secured credit facility to corporate borrowers. The loans were secured by first-priority liens on ten manufacturing facilities across four states. We negotiated complex loan documents and conducted due diligence, including lien searches, title work, and collateral review.
