Skilled and strategic counsel for complex banking litigation

Our regional bank engaged Matt McGuire at Alston & Bird to defend a high-stakes, multi-million dollar lender liability lawsuit. From our initial consultation, his deep understanding of banking and finance litigation was immediately apparent. He leveraged his 18 years of experience, including his recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this specific field, to craft a defense strategy that was both aggressive and meticulously detailed. His team's analysis of the complex loan documentation and regulatory environment was exceptional. Matt’s personal, steady demeanor was a calming influence during a stressful process, and his arguments in court were precise and persuasive, ultimately leading to a highly favorable settlement. While his expertise is unquestionably top-tier, there were occasional periods where communication from his team could lag, requiring a follow-up on non-urgent matters. That minor point aside, I would not hesitate to recommend Matt McGuire to any financial institution facing serious litigation in North Carolina. His blend of Chapel Hill-honed acumen and practical courtroom savvy is a formidable asset.
