Banking Law

The McLane Law Firm has been representing New Hampshire banks since early in its history. The firm has represented numerous New Hampshire and Massachusetts banks and bank holding companies with respect to both specific transactions and litigation matters.

Through its representation of these clients, the firm has developed extensive experience in a number of banking law related areas. Among these are: the incorporation of banks, the conversion of mutual banks to stock-owned banks, the conversion of savings banks to commercial banks, the formation and registration of bank holding companies, the establishment of bank branches, and the acquisition and merger of banks. In addition, our commercial lending and real estate lawyers have substantial experience in representing the bank perspective in the areas of business finance, and asset-based and commercial real estate lending.

Our lawyers working in these areas routinely deal with a broad spectrum of state and federal banking regulations. Many of the issues we handle for our banking clients require direct contact with state and federal bank regulatory agencies such as the Bank Commissioner's Office in Concord, the Board of Trust Company Incorporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Board.

Our approach to bank and bank holding company work involves an interdisciplinary team. This means, where appropriate and cost effective, we will involve lawyers whose experience in specific banking matters or knowledge in such areas as securities law, lender liability litigation or real estate law meet our clients' needs.

The McLane Law Firm prides itself on delivering the highest quality work to its banking clients and in providing them with practical solutions to their matters in a timely, efficient and economical manner.
