Joan Robinson represents and advises financial institutions, large and small businesses and individuals in a wide range of real estate and banking-related matters. Having worked in-house for almost half of her career, clients appreciate the unique sensibility Joan brings to her role, understanding business from the inside and having developed the ability to analyze, draft and negotiate complex transactions.

Her experience includes:

  • Complex lending transactions (secured and unsecured);
  • Uniform Commercial Code issues;
  • Commercial transactions;
  • Loan workouts;
  • Financial institution-related matters, including bank regulation and product development;
