He has a broad practice covering the needs of our financial services clients, focusing largely on mergers and acquisitions as well as governance and other corporate, securities and regulatory aspects of transactional matters for banks, asset managers, insurers, broker-dealers, finance and financial technology companies. Mr. Eitel has worked on many of the largest, most complex transactions in the financial services industries, including the major transactions of the financial crisis. In addition to transactional work, Mr. Eitel works with our financial services clients on a wide range of regulatory and enforcement matters. These have included subjects such as resolution planning, anti-money laundering, consumer compliance, cybersecurity and other areas of regulatory scrutiny.
