Managing Risk, Fueling Opportunity: Legal Solutions Across the Financial Ecosystem
Why Hinshaw? Because We Know the Industry—and the Stakes
Navigating today’s financial services landscape requires more than legal knowledge. It demands a partner who understands how regulation, innovation, and risk intersect across every corner of the industry. At Hinshaw, our attorneys bring decades of experience advising banks, lenders, fintechs, private equity firms, and other financial institutions on transactional, regulatory, and litigation matters. Many of our team members have served as in-house counsel, CPAs, business executives, and regulators themselves. We bring a business-minded, solutions-first approach to every engagement, helping clients grow, stay compliant, and manage risk at every turn.
We work with a broad spectrum of financial services clients, including national, regional, and community banks and credit unions; non-bank lenders and servicers; fintechs; credit card issuers and payment processors; private equity investors; and businesses offering embedded financial products. Whether you’re launching a new lending product, acquiring a financial institution, navigating a regulatory exam, managing a nationwide litigation portfolio, or defending a high-stakes dispute, we provide partner-level attention and industry-specific insight to help you meet your goals.
