Welcome to the Gallet Dreyer & Berkey, LLP Banking and Financial Institutions Blog. Our firm provides legal services to a wide range of banks and other financial institutions, from some of the smallest in New York to some of the largest in the world. Every week, we encounter one or more tidbits of legal information, or legal issues, that we want to share with our clients and others in the industry. Our goal is to offer you at least one meaningful takeaway each week. For a longer analysis of major issues, see our quarterly newsletter. If you are not already receiving it, you or others at your institution can subscribe to it by sending an email with the subject SUBSCRIBE to my assistant, Joanne Quiles, at JLQ@GDBLAW.COM. And, of course, if you have an issue on any matter we discuss, or on any other matter affecting financial institutions, we’re here to serve you.
