Program Materials

This CLE webinar will prepare counsel to craft effective forbearance agreements that protect lender interests and minimize lender liability and risks in the event of the borrower’s bankruptcy.

Description

Well-structured forbearance agreements or waivers are essential to protecting a lender’s position. Counsel representing lenders must anticipate and successfully navigate obstacles during the negotiation process and avoid pitfalls that can result in lender liability challenges by borrowers.

As forbearance agreements may then be followed by the borrower’s bankruptcy, counsel must also be mindful of the bankruptcy considerations when drafting forbearance agreements. Waivers of the automatic stay and stipulations supporting relief in a bankruptcy filing can be critical.

Listen as our authoritative panel of attorneys discusses best practices for crafting forbearance and waiver agreements that minimize lender risks and liabilities.
