Commercial Banks
No sector has been immune to the impact of the
global economic crisis and commercial banks have felt the full
force impacting banks across the globe. A number of banks were
bailed out to allow them to continue trading; others stopped
trading and foreclosed. There was, and continues to be, a high
level of consolidation across the sector with smaller banks seeking
refuge in larger banks with more access to liquidity.
Commercial banks continue to be caught in
regulatory reform, which affects all aspects of business and runs
the risk of dampening the appetite for new lending.
SNR Denton understands the complexities of the
commercial banking sector. We have been providing on-the-ground
advice in all facets of commercial banking from general lending to
online banking. We advise leading organizations from across the
broader banking and finance sector, including banks, accountancy
firms, insurance and reinsurance companies, fund and asset
management companies, financial intermediaries and brokers.
At the core of our offering is one of the
largest and broadest banking and finance departments in the
industry. We have a full range of specialized practice areas across
our international network.
Many of our relationships extend well beyond traditional banking
and finance work, with clients taking advantage of our ability to
deliver sector knowledge and understanding in tandem with a full
range of commercial legal services - many of which, such as real
estate, technology, media and telecoms, litigation and employment,
are critical to the success of any commercial bank.
