As the market recovers from the global financial crisis and in the context of important regulatory reforms, new opportunities arise for financial institution mergers & acquisitions. Smaller, healthy institutions seek a way to compete in a consolidating industry, either through building critical mass in their current offering or moving into new markets. Meanwhile, regulatory reform and lengthy recovery time motivate other institutions to sell. These transactions are happening in a complex, developing regulatory environment. When embarking on these transactions, you need forward-thinkers in assessing the risks and protecting your interests, people who understand the current market conditions and how they are likely to change.

Gain a critical ally. In close collaboration with you, lawyers from the global offices of Dentons can advise you on all forms of strategic transactions that are likely to arise, from whole bank transactions to branch sales. Driving forward with you and your specific objectives as our guide, we will help you navigate complex corporate, regulatory, securities and fiduciary issues.
