Bank & Lender Representation

We represent both banks and lenders in a wide range of legal matters. From foreclosures and replevin to general collection and recovery needs. As a bank or lender, legal issues are magnified by the incredible pressure and complexities that documentation and troubled loans present. Our team can assist in drafting any loan documentation, residential and commercial mortgages, and more. We offer sound legal advice and counsel for banks and lenders regarding loans in financial difficulty, restructuring, acquisition, dispositions, auctions, receiverships, and other creditor arrangements.

Our qualified attorneys can help coordinate lending agreements while protecting your interests in dealing with other banks on larger projects or matters. We’re also able to draft documents or advise on legal compliances regarding foreclosures, deed in lieu of foreclosures, short sales, and other methods of recovering collateralized property as a part of secured loans. We’re also able to assist in opening new bank branches or lending institutions — assisting with employment law matters and other liability concerns.

If that’s the case, you’ll need sound bank and lending attorneys by your side to assist with the collections process. We’re here to protect our client’s interests and rights, implementing tried and true strategies to reduce any financial losses that may occur.
