Pringle & Pringle provides clients with a wide array of services:

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

For over 35 years Pringle & Pringle has been working with financial institutions in Oklahoma and other states, and developed a great familiarity with the regulatory environment on both the federal and state levels.  We prepare regulatory applications and assist with examination preparation.  We keep up-to-date with the latest proposed and promulgated laws and regulations, and these efforts enabled the firm’s founders to originally develop the PRINGLE® Compliance Policies & Audit Procedures, the PRINGLE® Safety and Soundness Policies & Audit Procedures, the PRINGLE® Strategic Plan for Community Banks, and related PRINGLE® Products for financial institutions nationwide.  We advise clients on safety and soundness and compliance issues and help clients prepare and implement policies, procedures, contracts, strategic plans, corporate governance structures, and other documentation and procedures.  Our attorneys also deal with the Uniform Commercial Code and related federal and state laws, and help clients comply with their provisions.  Our philosophy is to help our clients understand statutory and regulatory requirements and negotiate with the regulators to maintain conformity with the law and find solutions to any problems that may arise.  When a client encounters regulatory concerns or enforcement issues, we work through and address and respond to those concerns and issues.  We advise clients regarding third-party technology risk and vendor management, including the negotiation and drafting of appropriate contractual documents.  We also assist our financial institution clients with strategic planning and board of directors and senior management training, including ethics and code of conduct issues.

Beginning in 2019, true to our traditions of providing useful risk management tools for community banks, Pringle & Pringle and Pringle Publications Corporation developed the PRINGLE® Strategic Plan for Community Banks which is designed to facilitate each community bank’s viability and provide visions for services for sustainable communities in Oklahoma and other states nationwide.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

In addition to providing the PRINGLE® Strategic Plan for Community Banks, we are available to work with directors and senior management and the team implementing the Plan. From the first meeting with the Board to the adoption of the Plan by the Board, guidance can be provided. We can then follow up with the employees to take steps to complete the Plan and help to prepare for regulatory examinations and prepare for updating. Directors' and officers' responsibilities can be discussed and compliance documented during these meetings. The Plan is generally presented and adopted with four major Sections addressing the Bank's strategies within the framework of legal and regulatory expectations as follows: I. Where Are We Now?; II. Where Do We Want To Be?; III. How Do We Get There?; and IV. How Will We Measure Our Progress?

 CORPORATE LAW

Pringle & Pringle advises and counsels its corporate clients in connection with many of their legal needs.  From a company’s launch, Pringle & Pringle can draft organizing documents including articles of organization or incorporation, bylaws, shareholder agreements, and regulatory applications, including ensuring that the necessary documents are properly filed with the appropriate government agencies.  Beyond formation, a company will need advice to maintain the proper corporate formalities such as complying with shareholder meeting voting requirements or amending corporate documents.  Our attorneys have helped clients with the formation process, both straight forward and complicated, and advised clients throughout their corporate existence, and addressed corporate and other entities’ needs, including governance issues.

 MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Since its inception Pringle & Pringle has been assisting clients with merger and acquisition transactions.  Our attorneys have experience dealing with complicated transactions that involve multiple corporate entities and various structures, most often in a highly regulatory environment.  We regularly assist clients with negotiating, documenting, and consummating mergers and acquisitions from state to finish, including both stock transactions and asset sales/acquisitions.  We also assist clients with initial due diligence, as well as with the successful implementation of the transaction after its consummation, including combining operations and meeting regulatory requirements for the ongoing business.

 CONTRACT LAW

We are well versed in drafting and negotiating many types of contracts.  Our attorneys have extensive experience with many types of contracts including, among others, third-party service provider agreements (on behalf of vendors and financial institutions), stock purchase agreements, asset purchase and sale agreements, shareholder agreements, leases, real estate purchase agreements, employment agreements, and agency agreements.
