Financial Services / Banking Law
Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell is a recognized leader in serving the special needs of financial institutions, insurance companies and securities firms in local, state and federal matters. For more than 25 years, we have represented financial services clients through times of dramatic market and regulatory change and intensive competition on leading-edge issues — such as the current debate over consumer information and privacy.

Our in-depth understanding of this dynamic arena enables us to strategically partner with clients for purposes of identifying business opportunities to expand service offerings, develop new products and reorganize companies for competitive advantage.
