Tom Blank Email & Phone Number

I am a member of the firm’s Management Committee and former co-chair of the firm’s Financial Institutions practice group. My practice has been fully committed to serving financial institutions for over 30 years. I have extensive experience in the organization and ongoing representation of banks, bank holding companies, stand-alone trust companies, and other financial institutions. I regularly assist community banking organizations with merger and acquisition transactions, including purchase and sale of entire institutions, subsidiaries, and branches. I represent financial institutions in both public securities offerings and private placements and I provide ongoing counsel regarding reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As part of my practice, I routinely interact with both federal and state banking and securities agencies on a wide variety of regulatory issues, including enforcement actions and agreements. I also assist my financial institution client’s with general corporate matters. I am responsive to client needs and I bring a positive “can-do” attitude to complex issues and address them in an efficient, cost effective manner. I was a founding member of and continues to serve as General Counsel and Secretary to the Association of Trust Organizations (f.k.a. Association of Independent Trust Companies, Inc.), a trade association of trust organizations, including non-depository trust companies
