The Krieg DeVault Difference
Our firm brings a true team approach to any financial services litigation matter. This involves the strategic collaboration of our seasoned banking lawyers and our formidable litigators, who together share a sophisticated grasp of the legal landscape and can offer the necessary depth and resources to take on the most complex of cases. Our bench strength comes from former bank executives and in-house counsel, leaders and advisers to financial service providers, regulators and industry organizations, and a former U.S. Attorney, making us well-equipped to address the diverse challenges those in the financial services industry face. This combination of skills, experience and collective knowledge of the substantive law and regulations enables us to pursue optimal and efficient outcomes for our clients. Krieg DeVault is the go-to litigation firm for financial institutions of all sizes.
The Work We Do
We represent community and regional banks, state and nationally chartered banks, federally regulated financial institutions, specialty finance companies, investment banks, bank holding companies, broker/dealers and investment advisors, as well as other entities and individuals in the financial services industry.

- Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
- Fair Debt Collection Act (FDCPA)
- Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
We regularly defend against these types of claims. We also have experience representing individuals and entities in the financial services industry in a wide variety of other litigation matters listed below. In addition to traditional litigation services, we offer specialized consulting, policy development and training to assist those in the financial services industry with regulatory compliance. Areas in which we have provided such services include:
- General business ethics
- Patriot Act
- Anti-money laundering
- Financial privacy and data protection
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and OFAC compliance
Our Financial Services Litigation team is experienced in effectively and efficiently resolving disputes not only in the state and federal courts, but also through arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
