Welcome to the San Francisco Bank Attorneys Association

WHAT IS THE SFBAA? 

The San Francisco Bank Attorneys Association is a time-honored institution dating back to 1939.  Its membership consists of in-house attorneys, outside lawyers in law firms, banking and venture capitalist attorneys, lobbyists and politicians,and regulators who practice in the area of banking law.  SFBAA members are the leaders of the legal and business community in San Francisco today and include lawyers from Wells Fargo, Bank of America, World Savings, Citibank, Providian, Charles Schwab, Golden West, Union Bank of California, California Bank & Trust, Mechanics Bank, 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 lecture 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.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN THE SFBAA?  HOW DO I JOIN?
