In each of the past four years, our financial institutions practice has been recognized by American Banker as the No. 1 deal making banking practice in the Southeast. Our 14 core banking attorneys focus on regulatory, corporate and securities matters for our more than 300 financial institution clients. Approximately 50 other Powell Goldstein attorneys regularly provide litigation, lending, work-out, bankruptcy, employment law, employee benefit, environmental, intellectual property, tax, technology and outsourcing, fiduciary law (including personal estate planning for bankers), real estate and REITs, white collar crime and similar legal specialty work for our financial institution clients. We enjoy being able to say that whatever problem a banker may have, we have a lawyer who has worked on a similar problem for a banker!
The members of our financial institutions group have worked with hundreds of banks across the country for many years and offer clients a broad spectrum of practical experience and legal knowledge of the structure and regulation of financial institutions. We emphasize hands-on experience, and our team includes seven 20-year veterans of banking law, the former associate general counsel for the largest U.S. based bank, a former investment banker, a former regulator, two former bank officers and two former CPAs who audited banks. Also on our core team are nationally recognized writers and speakers.
Our broad experience, coupled with our innovative solutions and our long standing ties to regulators, trade associations and service providers, make us invaluable assets to our clients who seek counsel for:
- Community Banking Issues

- De Novo Banking
- Employment Benefits and Compensation
- Going Private (and Staying Private)
