Hunton Andrews Kurth Partner Peter G. Weinstock Honored by Independent Bankers Association of Texas

The Independent Bankers Association of Texas has honored Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP partner Peter G. Weinstock by adding him to their Wall of Heroes and Legends, a special place in its headquarters with the purpose of recognizing exceptional leaders. The IBAT notes that “there are few people that encompass the holistic spirit of community banking. A person who dedicated his time to helping boost an industry through strategic initiatives, education, and legal representation. Someone who beats the drum for regulatory initiatives and helps institutions to find the right path for long-term viability” as just a few of the characteristics they seek in choosing an honoree.

“We find it a great privilege to recognize someone in the industry who has lived these values and gone above and beyond for our banks. We are pleased to recognize Peter G. Weinstock, who exemplifies the vision for the future of community banking, while defending its great strength and history,” said the IBAT (images from the ceremony can be accessed here).
