About

Provided by Winston & Strawn LLP

Winston & Strawn has been advising financial services institutions for more than 125 years. We represent all 10 of the top 10 U.S. banks, and more than 30% of our firm’s work is dedicated to financial services. Our Florida banking and finance lawyers leverage our firm’s longstanding experience as a leading financial services firm to advise Florida clients, from FinTech startups to top global banks.

Go-To Regulatory Team: As financial regulations are ever-evolving, our team advises on regulatory issues, streamlining regulatory challenges and overcoming hurdles for its long-standing and new clients. Members of our Miami-based financial regulatory, finance, and M&A team know the Florida financial services market intimately, boasting three former in-house bank counsel.

Leading FinTech: Our team leads the FinTech regulatory market in the State of Florida, more specifically Miami, as the state has undergone a transformation to become the home of FinTech and, more so, blockchain and digital assets. As multinational, national, and regional lenders turn to us, our clients rely on our strong ties and familiarity with the FOFR and State and Federal agencies.

Premier Transactional Team: Our team advises financial services firms, as well as institutional, upper middle market, LatAm, and European investors on all types of transactional matters, with special expertise in acquisitions of private banking operations, particularly since South Florida is a hub for private banking.
