At Smith Robinson, our Banking & Financial Services team provides practical, business-minded counsel to financial institutions of all kinds. From structuring and closing commercial loans to advising on day-to-day banking practices, we help our clients navigate the legal and regulatory landscape with clarity and confidence.

We regularly represent commercial lenders—including regional and community banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions—in both conventional and unconventional transactions. Our work includes preparing and reviewing loan documentation, negotiating with borrower’s counsel, and providing guidance on matters of legal and regulatory compliance.

In addition to transactional support, we advise financial institutions and community lenders on a wide range of operational issues that affect their businesses. This includes guidance on internal policies and lending procedures, as well as counsel on depository matters and loan servicing operations. By addressing both the structural and day-to-day challenges of commercial finance, we provide clients with comprehensive solutions that strengthen compliance, mitigate risk, and promote efficiency.
