Financial services organizations—banks, insurance companies, stockbrokers—are essential partners for businesses or families working to build their futures. Because their role is so extensive and their services so important, these companies and their clients often have complex interests at stake. Manning Fulton lawyers understand the perspectives from both sides of the table, and have experience representing financial services companies and those who depend on them.
Banks We represent lenders, factors and secondary market loan purchasers in collection of disputed loans and accounts, foreclosures, deficiency actions and claims alleging lender liability and violation of usury and other statutes regulating lending.
Insurers Manning Fulton handles various matters for insurance carriers and agents. For example, we have represented many institutional investors who purchased bonds secured by pledges of consumer loans and related credit insurance in complex federal litigation. This involved multiple lawsuits that raised, among other issues, claims of fraud, securities law violations, breach of contract, accountant liability, unfair trade practices and negligence in loan portfolio servicing.
Stockbrokers We represent securities broker-dealers in lawsuits and NASD arbitrations involving allegations of securities law violations, unauthorized trading, breach of contract, violation of restrictive covenants and wrongful interference with contractual relations.
In serving our financial services clients, Manning Fulton draws on the experience of the firm’s commercial real estate and corporate lawyers. Our combined industry knowledge helps us effectively represent our clients in other industries regarding their dealings with banks, insurance company investment departments, institutional investors and investment bankers, and other financial services organizations. We handle commercial financing transactions that range from simple to complex. Our lawyers have also assisted clients in many private placements, and we have worked with specialized securities counsel in public offerings by our clients.
Money is a universal interest. Whether you are a financial services provider fulfilling your complex fiduciary responsibilities, or a financial services customer seeking guidance on an intricate transaction, Manning Fulton lawyers have the knowledge and experience to be your partner in building a successful future.
