What is the SFBAA?

The San Francisco Bank Attorneys Association is a time-honored institution dating back to 1939. SFBAA members are the leaders of the legal and business community in San Francisco today and include lawyers from Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citibank, Charles Schwab, Union Bank of California, Mechanics Bank, Bank of the West, and large and small law firms in the San Francisco area, as well as local and state regulators and lobbyists.

How often does the SFBAA meet?

Members convene once a month at a sit-down luncheon where there is a presentation on a timely banking law topic. Luncheon topics span all practice areas in banking law from regulatory law to litigation, from mortgage and lending laws to technology, from securities law and venture capital law to white collar criminal law.
