SW&M attorneys have decades of experience in anticipating, preventing, and mitigating the curveballs and complications that can arise in regular day-to-day operations. From the most routine deposit or loan account to the most complex operational processes, we know that compliance and legal issues can and do come from almost any direction. The interrelation and constant evolution of various electronic and mobile systems, in particular, means there are multiple angles that must be covered to ensure smooth operations and reduce risk.
Over the years, SW&M has worked closely with a wide range of clients to draft and implement effective operational policies and processes. We have also assisted all kinds of institutions with resolving concerns as efficiently as possible. Our comprehensive support includes helping clients respond to document production requests, such as subpoenas and account levies. We have deep expertise on matters related to powers of attorney, trusts, decedent accounts, and elder abuse. We have also assisted on issues surrounding unclaimed property and escheat laws (including responding to escheat audits), as well as tax information return reporting.
