Financial Modernization, Uniform Commercial Code Changes and Bankruptcy Reform
Congress and our state legislature continue to enact new laws which impact the business of lending. Financial modernization is here. Changes to the Uniform Commercial Code are occurring soon, and bankruptcy reform may or may not be enacted this year. Meanwhile, problem loans become special assets which require workouts, collections, foreclosure, bankruptcy work, and if necessary, litigation.
What We Can Do For You:
We help small and large banks and other clients address and resolve legal issues arising out of the ever changing body of state and federal law. This includes representation in real estate transactions and documentation, business and commercial financing, loan documentation, problem loan and special asset workouts, collections, foreclosures, and litigation. We also represent banks in various matters applying the Uniform Commercial Code, including actions on forged signatures, alterations and fraudulent endorsements. Last, but not least, we provide banks and other creditors with cost effective legal assistance and guidance through the bankruptcy process (helping them avoid pitfalls and maximize their recovery). In short, our practice covers all matters from loan initiation through loan repayment, including advice on related legal issues impacting lenders.
