Banking; Loan Agreements; Guaranty Contracts

We have represented businesses, entrepreneurs and lenders. Successful financing is important to most businesses, yet many never study their loan documents until they receive a notice of default.

There have even been cases where a guarantor sold a business, yet remained liable as a guarantor by mistake. When a dispute arises, often negotiation is better than litigation, but your leverage improves if you are capable of fighting a lawsuit. In Chemical Bank v. Paul, we offered $3.5 million to settle a dispute over a guaranty because another law firm had already lost a foreclosure case based on the same facts. When the bank refused our offer, we went to trial and won the case, leaving the bank with nothing. (We have won cases on behalf of lenders, too.)

We have experience with:
  • Loan Agreements
  • Mortgages
  • Guarantees
  • Foreclosures
