Melissa Y. Lanska

As a shareholder in Reinhart’s Banking and Finance Practice, Melissa Lanska is dedicated to serving the financial institutions that are often the cornerstones of healthy, strong communities.

She works closely with community banks and other clients involved in the financial service industry to provide general counsel on corporate matters, general securities matters, strategic initiatives (such as mergers and acquisitions, asset sales and purchases and capital formation), and regulatory/compliance matters. She serves clients throughout the Midwest and the nation with assets up to $5 billion.

She is very responsive and detail-oriented without losing sight of her client’s big-picture goals. In this complex and highly regulated area, banks need legal partners like Melissa who are proactive, forward-thinking and skilled with risk analysis. She works hard to get to know her clients’ businesses and add value by helping them make advantageous connections both inside and outside the firm.
