Turning Crisis into Strategy: Contracts, projects and disputes at a global chokepoint
The global financial crisis triggered significant reshaping of the financial services sector. As part of this reshaping, we are advising global and regional financial institutions on share sales, business and asset sales, joint ventures, portfolio transfers, statutory business transfers, good bank/bad bank transactions, reorganizations and restructurings, and the international and local regulatory changes that impact the structure of financial institutions.
Our global M&A team works seamlessly with our regulatory team and other lawyers from across the firm to provide you sector-focused advice.
