Fintech is evolving rapidly, and public and private companies, acquirers, payment processors, financial institutions, ATM operators and others depend on Derek Edwards to answer their needs across the country. For more than 15 years, Derek has advised them on consumer, merchant, and inter-company disputes, as well as defended consumer lawsuits and class-action litigation, including the following:
Derek responds as novel legal issues arise. For example, he is a frequent speaker concerning mitigating litigation risk for ATM operations and financial services companies complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act. He has presented at meetings of the ATM Industry Association, including at its annual meeting, and to the Tennessee Bankers Association.
Not only do financial service companies call upon Derek to defend consumer class-action lawsuits, but they also seek his counsel on matters of their day-to-day operations, including contract enforcement, payment disputes, creditor rights, and identity theft concerns. Payment processors, independent service organizations (ISOs), acquirers, and sponsor banks all have sought Derek to defend and prosecute their lawsuits in federal courts across the country. Derek has defended hundreds of inter-company disputes, consumer complaints, and consumer class-actions, from California to Massachusetts, Illinois to Texas, Mississippi to Delaware. He has also obtained multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for punitive damages for contract interference and competitive injuries.
Clients depend on Derek to be responsive, efficient, creative, and tough. They benefit greatly from his depth of knowledge of financial services legislation and that his time for them is spent crafting solutions, not learning the law.
