Walker Keeling and Carroll, LLP

The firm draws on the expertise and past experience of its attorneys to provide comprehensive services to banks, thrifts and other financial institutions, as well as other firms seeking to extend or obtain credit or collect existing obligations. We serve local, regional and national institutions with legal needs arising in South Texas, regardless of where the home office may be.

On the lending side, we have extensive experience in representing both lenders and borrowers in advising on the stucture of and in documenting financing transactions that are optimized to achieve the client's goals. Of course, when things do not go as planned, parties to financing transactions must confront and deal with difficult challenges and decisions. We have assisted clients on both sides of these transactions through many of these obstacles, and possess an uncommon understanding of the business imperatives and dynamics usually at play in such situations. This aids our ability to be effective.

On the trust side, we work with corporate trustees and fiduciaries in many different contexts to meet the needs of the institution's clients. Again, a wealth of hands-on experience in dealing with the unique problems and issues faced by corporate trustees and fiduciaries, including litigation, and dispute resolution, gives us the ability to quickly and effectively get on top of challenges and help our clients efficiently carry out their responsibilites.
