Overview
Chapman and Cutler has an extensive history of representing banks lending money on a subordinated basis to other banks for regulatory capital purposes.
Chapman practice group attorneys are well-versed in the nuances of regulatory capital note law.
Making subordinated loans to banks and bank holding companies that qualify as regulatory capital requires in-depth understanding of the many regulatory principles governing such debt. Our firm understands these principles and has collective experience in creatively conveying these principles to our valued bank-lending clients. We work with each client to structure and document his or her individual transactions in a way that allows the client’s customer to treat the debt as regulatory capital.
