BrownWinick - Attorneys at Law

Banking

BrownWinick has been a constant leader in the field of commercial law, with particular expertise in financial transactions. Having earned a reputation for prompt service and creative problem solving, we have represented several financial institutions in Iowa, as well as out-of-state lenders. We also represent borrowers, brokers and parties supplying credit enhancement in connection with financings of all sizes and degrees of complexity, as well as parties engaged in acquiring financial institutions.

BrownWinick regularly counsels financial institutions on operational matters including regulatory compliance, check handling, powers of attorney, trust accounts, vendor relationships and joint venture relationships.

Our services do not end at the closing. When a client or a client’s customer develops financial difficulties, our Banking practice group and Litigation practice group work closely with all concerned to develop a solution. We have successfully represented borrowers, lenders and other interested parties in a broad range of workout situations, from refinancings and reorganizations to bankruptcies, liquidations and foreclosures.

Recent changes in the banking and financial services industry have increased the demand for sophisticated legal services. The Banking practice group’s practice includes banking law, as well as matters involving the formation, reorganization, capitalization and regulatory compliance for banks, stock brokerages, insurance companies and their respective holding companies.
