Welcome to the Patton Boggs Capital Markets Web Site

The current economic environment has created unprecedented challenges for the financial services industry. What began as a subprime mortgage crisis has evolved into a mortgage “meltdown,” potentially affecting the performance of many types of mortgages, as well as residential, construction and commercial real estate loans. The resulting decline in credit quality has adversely impacted many financial institutions’ liquidity and capital levels, leading to a variety of regulatory enforcement actions and a wide range of litigation.

Patton Boggs is uniquely positioned to assist financial institutions as they face a myriad of challenges. Nationally recognized as a premier provider of legal representation to financial sector businesses throughout the United States, we have provided strategic counsel to commercial banks, savings institutions, bank and thrift holding companies, mortgage companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and specialty finance companies for decades.
