Banking and Finance

The laws that protect consumers and banks differ when it comes to relationships between businesses and banks. You should become familiar with business laws relating to loans and financing, blue-sky laws and other business financial topics. If you have questions after reading through our information you should contact your business attorney to get them answered.

Banking and Finance Sub-Categories

Loans & Financing - If you have a banking or finance problem, you probably want a business lawyer, who either handles lawsuits (called a business litigator) or handles contracts and corporate matters (called a transactional lawyer). It’s sometimes hard for consumers to find legal representation in this area because lawyers may be hesitant to take on a lawsuit against a bank or financial institution, which can afford to hire good lawyers. If there are consumer protection statutes you can rely on (such as truth-in-lending statutes), you may have better luck finding a lawyer to represent you.

Blue Sky Laws - Blue sky or "state securities" regulation is the body of law developed by each state in the country to insure that it's residents were protected when they made investments.

Going Public - "Going Public" is raising money for a company by selling shares of the company to the general public. Many private businesses decide to go public when they need additional capital for growth and sufficient financing is not available from the personal resources of the principals, their family and business associates or from financial institutions.
