Our Financial Services & Banking National Practice Section has represented, directly and through insurers, accountants and other financial professionals throughout the country including court, arbitration, regulatory actions, as well as actions before professional boards. FMG’s team includes attorneys who are CPAs and consultants with experience as chief compliance officers at some of the nation’s largest financial institutions. They have a thorough understanding of accounting principles and financial practices that most attorneys do not.

Our team couples their knowledge of the law with decades of practical industry experience to effectively navigate our accountant and financial services clients through their disputes. FMG attorneys closely follow changes in the law that directly or indirectly affect the duties and obligations of financial professionals to ensure that the firm’s clients receive timely and accurate best practices advice.

It is not unusual for accountant and financial professional malpractice actions to include claims against other professionals in the same matter. Our attorneys also are experienced in working with other defense counsel, and often as lead counsel, to coordinate an effective group defense in complex actions. Our goal always is to achieve the best possible outcome in the most cost effective manner. FMG’s team works closely with our clients and their insurance provider to specifically design the optimum defense and strategy for the best result in each matter.
