Counsel for Lenders
Extending credit requires more than preparing standard loan documents. An effective lending strategy involves structuring enforceable agreements, evaluating collateral protection, and anticipating potential default scenarios.
Loan Documentation and Structuring
We draft and negotiate loan agreements, promissory notes, deeds of trust, security agreements, guarantees, subordination agreements, and intercreditor agreements. Clear drafting reduces ambiguity, strengthens enforcement rights, and helps align loan terms with the lender’s risk tolerance and collateral position.
Due Diligence and Risk Assessment
Prior to funding, lenders benefit from a structured legal review of borrower entities, collateral ownership, and existing obligations. We assist in evaluating entity authority, reviewing governing documents, and identifying encumbrances or competing creditor interests that could affect priority or repayment.
Workouts, Disputes, and Recovery
When loans become distressed, strategic decision-making is critical. We advise lenders on restructuring options, forbearance agreements, negotiated resolutions, and enforcement strategies. Where necessary, we assist in managing recovery processes and coordinating with litigation counsel.
Counsel for Borrowers
Financing agreements shape operational flexibility and long-term financial stability. Borrowers benefit from a careful review of terms that may affect cash flow, collateral exposure, and default risk.
