Introduction
In response to the increasingly complex issues facing businesses, Dykema has formed a Financial Markets Crisis Task Force to help its clients navigate the constant changes in the marketplace. We have task force members located in our offices in California, Illinois, Michigan, Texas and Washington D.C.

Our Financial Markets Crisis Task Force includes senior attorneys and government policy advisors with significant experience across a broad range of practices. Attorneys and policy advisors in the group collaborate to provide legal counsel and legislative and regulatory guidance on complex issues resulting from the global financial crisis, helping clients navigate and adapt to the changing economic environment. In addition to the regularly updated information available on this website, our experienced professionals can offer effective and efficient advice in a wide spectrum of activities including:
  • Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
  • Commercial Credit Availability and Terms
  • Safety of Deposit and Investment Accounts
  • Money Market Account Issues
  • LIBOR and other rate-setting issues
  • Insolvency Issues

Dykema’s team of experienced attorneys understands the continuing economic developments and can provide legal direction in this fast-changing environment.
