We want to hear from you, but before you click the “ACCEPT” button below, please be aware of the following:

Sending an email to Adams and Reese LLP does not create an attorney-client relationship.  We do not accept client representations by email.  We do not treat unsolicited information received by email from our website as confidential.

If you are contacting us about a possible representation, we cannot represent you until we know that we would not have a conflict of interest.  Please do not send us any information about a potential representation until you communicate with one of our lawyers by telephone or in person about representation. 

By clicking “ACCEPT” you agree that we may review any information you send us, and that we do not need to consider it confidential.  You also agree that our review of your email or any information in it, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and even if you consider it confidential, will not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you.

Please click “ACCEPT” if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish to proceed.

The most satisfying aspect of my practice is my ability to deliver practical legal solutions to my banking clients, based not only on the applicable law, but also on a working knowledge of bank operations, the practical realities faced by bankers and the actual risks at stake.

Primary Practice:

Charles Parrott has 40 years of banking law experience. He advises clients in the areas of commercial lending, credit policy and procedures, consumer finance, fair lending, credit scoring, real estate lending, title insurance underwriting, deposit issues, bank regulation, consumer compliance, vendor contracts, corporate law, insurance and expert testimony.

For 20 years, Charles was Assistant General Counsel and Senior Vice President for the former Deposit Guaranty Corporation/Deposit Guaranty National Bank in Jackson (now Regions Bank). This significant in-house banking experience combined with his legal experience gives Charles a unique understanding of bank operations, culture and emerging issues.
