This CLE webinar will offer guidance for counsel to lenders who are facing lender liability claims and lawsuits in record numbers. The panel will analyze the most common types of claims, discuss how they are arising at various stages of the lending cycle and in bankruptcies, and offer best practices for avoiding claims.
With record numbers of loan defaults, foreclosures and corporate bankruptcy filings, borrowers are increasingly filing lawsuits as "preemptive strikes" to forestall foreclosure or loan default. Many times these suits appear as counterclaims to legal action filed by lenders.
Many lender liability problems arise in connection with a lender's conduct or statements made in the course of efforts to restructure or work out a problem loan. Borrowers and guarantors are asserting lender liability claims in an effort to increase leverage in workout negotiations.
Bankruptcy trustees and unsecured creditors are becoming more aggressive in alleging lender liability issues to increase recovery for unsecured creditors in bankruptcy cases. Lenders' and borrowers' counsel must understand claims and defenses from both sides to protect their client's interests.
Listen as our authoritative panel of legal specialists reviews various theories of lender liability and offers best practices to conduct loan workouts and exercise default remedies to minimize lender liability claims.
