I have 30 years of experience, and specialize in the field of banking law with specific knowledge in the areas of bank insolvency and resolutions, anti-money laundering compliance and trade finance. I have published on such topics as failing banks, trade-based money laundering and emergency liquidity financing for banks. I organized and headed a twenty-attorney unit in the FDIC Legal Department responsible for the legal work on the largest bank resolutions during the last US banking crisis (1986 – 91).
