Bank and Neobank Litigation Lawyers for Complex Financial Disputes
Pilgrim Christakis stands ready to defend banks, neobanks, and financial technology companies against the complex litigation landscape they face. And in an environment where legal risks are constantly evolving, expert representation by a seasoned bank litigation lawyer isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity.
We provide that defense.
Strategic Defense for Complex Disputes
No company wants to face litigation. Apart from the potential financial outlay, there is a reputational cost to consider, and the unwelcome distraction from core business functions. The impact of litigation is paramount, and we integrate this understanding into every strategic decision, recognizing that a favorable outcome extends beyond the courtroom to safeguard your business’s standing.
We bring deep fluency in the banking regulatory environment, and we know how it intersects with consumer behavior and public scrutiny. For both traditional banks and fast-scaling neobanks, we tailor our strategies to reflect the nuances of this space.
That means defending against not just the legal claim itself, but the ripple effects across compliance, operations, and brand trust. Whether addressing disputes tied to evolving fee structures, fintech integrations, or high-velocity account activity, our team brings the experience and perspective financial institutions rely on when the stakes are high.
Our service goes beyond winning cases. From the moment of your initial consultation with us, you’ll know you’re dealing with a firm that understands your legal challenge, knows how to address it, and will keep you informed and involved from start to finish.
Some of the most common legal actions we defend against include:
- Class actions over fees
- Unauthorized transfers
- Account-opening and identity theft claims
- Frozen account, delayed funds, and access-denial claims (including AML/KYC)
- Payment network and ACH disputes
- True lender claims
- Data breach and privacy claims
- Presentment warranty claims
The Fintech Revolution
Digital, branchless banking platforms have become the norm. Growing consumer adoption and ever-improving tech capabilities mean these institutions are here to stay.
And because they operate across borders, they demand adherence to a broad spectrum of regulations. Our nationwide presence ensures we can provide consistent, knowledgeable defense; whether you get served in Alaska, Florida, or anywhere in between, we’ll be there to help.
