FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The issues facing financial institutions vary according to the type of practice and by evolving regulations put into place by Congress. While the majority of claims against financial institutions come from routine operations – a customer slips and falls, an employee injures someone in an auto accident, etc., there are other unique situations that are becoming increasingly prevalent.
Professional liability is a major issue in today’s regulatory and litigation environment.
Privacy, cyber liability and identity theft affect financial institutions to a greater degree than other companies – largely due to government regulations.
Banks or mortgage lenders can face liability over lending and foreclosure issues.
Venture capital and private equity firms have their own special needs.
AHT understands the need for comprehensive protection and brings extensive experience and knowledge in the financial space to all of our clients.
