Program Materials

This CLE webinar will brief commercial finance attorneys on changes under UCC Article 9 amendments and outline how practitioners should adjust their search methods and due diligence practices in light of the new rules.

Description

New UCC Article 9 secured lending rules changed filing procedures, searching methods, and due diligence practices for lenders. Counsel in states that haven't yet adopted the amendments should update financing statements in progress to comply with the new requirements or face amending statements later.

Key changes include clarification of the debtor’s name, an expanded definition of “registered organization,” clarification of filing rules for trusts, greater protection for after-acquired assets if the debtor changes location or merges, and modification of the national form of financing statement.

Listen as our authoritative panel of attorneys discusses the key provisions of the new UCC Article 9 secured lending rules, focusing on changes in filing procedures, searching methods and due diligence practices, and best practices for complying with the new rules.
