Banking & Finance

The Banking & Financial Services Practice Group of Jones Walker LLP offers comprehensive legal and regulatory compliance counsel to financial institutions, their owners, and executives. Our firm has a long history and well-earned reputation in the financial services industry, and our individual attorneys have a thorough, firsthand understanding of emerging business, technology, market, and legislative forces.

Prior to entering private practice, many of our lawyers held senior positions at major financial institutions and in key federal financial supervisory agencies, and a number continue to serve in leadership roles in industry associations. Drawing on this private-sector and government experience, we provide knowledgeable, effective advice to managers, owners, and investors seeking to identify and act upon opportunities that arise in this challenging, complex financial landscape.

We have strong banking and finance teams located in firm offices throughout the southeastern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, including Alabama, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. We frequently represent national and regional institutions before US federal banking and financial regulatory agencies in Washington, DC, and in district offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Richmond, and St. Louis. We also have developed cooperative relationships with state banking regulators across the country.
