We defend financial institutions against fraud-related claims and help establish protocols to prevent future occurrences. We also pursue claims on behalf of financial institutions to recover losses from fraud occurrences. Our attorneys have extensive experience with cases involving check fraud, ACH fraud, wire transfer fraud, and other unauthorized transactions. We rely on deep knowledge of UCC Articles 3, 4, and 4A, to defend and pursue claims on behalf of clients in disputes over forged instruments, altered checks, and unauthorized wire transfers. We also advise on compliance with Regulation E (Electronic Fund Transfer Act) and Regulation CC (Funds Availability). When needed, we work with internal bank personnel, forensic investigators, and law enforcement to gather evidence and pursue or defend claims. We develop and refine fraud affidavit forms, account agreements, and internal response procedures to minimize exposure and streamline responses to fraud claims.
