Our attorneys handle significant litigation for financial institutions and are familiar with the risks in today’s ever-shifting regulatory and economic environment. With offices coast to coast, our nationally recognized litigation team wins cases and resolves disputes that threaten our clients’ competiveness. We handle arbitrations, mediations, enforcement proceedings, and class actions. We represent financial institutions in disputes with commercial entities, borrowers, third-party vendors and other financial institutions, as well as dealing with federal agencies such as the Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and other agencies at the state and federal levels. We also handle litigation arising out of bankruptcy and restructuring work.
BakerHostetler was named a “go-to law firm” for litigation by Corporate Counsel® magazine’s general counsel survey of in-house law departments at the nation’s top companies. Our litigators are former prosecutors, veteran civil trial lawyers, and former enforcement officials from various agencies, and they have credentials that have won them inclusion in Best Lawyers in America and Chambers USA as well as fellowship in the American College of Trial Lawyers. They are nationally regarded for their prelitigation strategies and decisions and their ability to prepare, try, and win cases.
In the increasingly important arena of privacy and data protection, our nationally recognized team has represented more than 50 financial institutions and service providers. We are adept at handling all aspects of privacy- and data security-related litigation. This includes the class actions that may follow a data security incident as well as litigation based on state and federal laws. We have a successful record of obtaining denials of class certification, dismissals, and summary judgments as well as severely limiting clients’ exposure to damages.
