Dykema has one of the leading Financial Institutions practices in the Midwest. 

We assist financial institutions in their deployment of capital through our Commercial Finance practice, which includes the representation of: financial institutions making commercial and real estate loans; venture capital firms, private equity firms and angel investors making debt and equity investments; issuers and special purpose entities in all phases of asset securitization transactions; credit enhancers of and trustees for public and private bonds; and creditors in connection with troubled loans and investments. 

Our Consumer Financial Services practice focuses on providing ongoing counseling and litigation services to credit providers on federal consumer lending laws regarding disclosure requirements, credit reporting, collection practices and other related federal laws. We counsel and defend clients, primarily in putative class actions, on various federal and state laws affecting consumer lending. As a recognized leader in the field, Dykema serves as a state editor to HouseLaw, a leading online consumer financial services publication for mortgage lenders. 

Our team of Bankruptcy and Restructuring attorneys is seasoned in bankruptcy and debtor-creditor laws and has vast experience in all aspects of law surrounding financially troubled companies. We work closely with our clients to understand their goals and develop strategies to achieve those goals. Dykema uses a team approach to handle complex work-outs or bankruptcies efficiently and effectively.

Through our Bank Regulatory practice, we represent banks and other regulated financial service companies on a full range of regulatory and corporate matters, including formation, trust activities, bank powers, money-laundering compliance and a wide-range of related federal and state laws.
