The laws involving banking are extensive and complex, often confusing even to people closely involved with the industry. In legal disputes involving bank personnel, clients, and other parties, the resolution often requires the expertise of banking experts not involved in the dispute.
Banking expert witnessess may be called upon to assist with cases simple to complex, from lending disputes with a bank customer to major conflicts involving banking management from different institutions. Disputes may be contractual, with parties interpreting contents of a document differently, or involve actions taken by clients or lenders that are viewed alleged as detrimental to one. In all cases, the testimony of a highly qualified banking expert witness may well be the deciding factor in determining which party is successful.
Modern financial banking practices have been challenged recently, especially where mortgages are involved. Lenders and borrowers alike have challenged the actions of the other parties involved.
