Conducted on Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide borrowers' and lenders' counsel with a review of loan documentation recent trends and best practices for structuring covenants and events-of-default clauses in commercial loans.
Description
Strategically crafted loan covenants and default provisions can provide flexibility to the borrower and adequate protections and remedies for the lender. For example, grace periods and the ability to cure defaults are critical to both borrowers and lenders.
Equity-cure rights have made a comeback in some transactions, although are more commonly used in sponsored transactions. How the proceeds of the cure are applied is an issue becoming more favorable to borrowers.
More lenders are attempting to enforce loan defaults and borrowers are fighting back, resulting in significant litigation. Carefully structured loan provisions can minimize disputes between the parties and reduce the risk of suit.
Listen as our authoritative panel of commercial finance attorneys offers effective approaches for borrowers' and lenders' counsel for structuring financial covenants and events-of-default provisions.
