Providing Transactional and Operational Counsel to Corporate Clients

Helping Financial Institutions Navigate Regulatory Matters

Applying his thorough knowledge of the industry and its unique compliance requirements, Robert helps clients address key issues such as control, corporate governance, capitalization and reserve requirements that are likely to come under scrutiny during examinations by bank regulators. In three cases involving banks, he defied the odds and successfully appealed examination findings that otherwise would have precipitated enforcement actions.
