Banking & Financial Services
Our Banking & Financial Services Practice Group offers a comprehensive, inter-disciplinary approach to the representation of financial services clients. Our attorneys regularly represent national and regional banks, finance companies, and other financial institutions in a broad variety of matters, including lending and other financing transactions, securitizations, sales and acquisitions of financial asset portfolios, creditors' rights, workouts and bankruptcy, financial services litigation, and regulatory matters.
Lending and Financing Transactions
Representation of banks and other financial institutions in lending and other financing transactions is at the core of our Banking & Financial Services practice. Our attorneys are experienced in the negotiations and documentation of real estate and construction loans, SBA-guaranteed loans, asset-based loans, trade finance, and letter of credit transactions. Well versed in matters involving the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code, as well as the enforcement of creditors' rights, our attorneys counsel clients on various forms of credit enhancement and optimal structure of credit relationships. Transactions routinely handled by our Banking & Financial Services group also include sales and acquisitions of financial assets, including distressed-asset portfolios and securitizations.
In addition to representation of banks and other financial institutions in lending transactions, our attorneys offer extensive expertise in all aspects of equipment leasing transactions.
Workout and Creditors' Rights
We represent our financial services clients in their efforts to collect defaulted loans and utilize their collateral security, as well as in their efforts to restructure and otherwise work their way out of distressed credits. As part of such representation, we often advise clients on lender liability issues and offer strategic advice on how to maximize recovery while minimizing potential risk exposure. Our attorneys routinely negotiate forbearance and debt restructuring agreements, conduct non-bankruptcy asset liquidations on behalf of secured lenders, and handle acquisitions and dispositions of distressed assets.
Litigation
Deeb Blum Murphy Frishberg & Markovich has represented many clients in disputes arising out of checks and payments under Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code, enforcement of defaulted loans, mortgage foreclosure proceedings, lender liability litigation, and other commercial disputes. Our litigators and trial lawyers are experienced in all types of financial services litigation and alternative dispute resolution, which enables us to achieve successful outcomes in court, Attorney General investigations, or in arbitration or mediation.
Regulatory
We have counseled clients on a variety of regulatory matters, including interpretation and application of federal and state law, regulatory applications, marketing initiatives, and providing analysis and comments on regulations proposed by federal and state regulators. We have represented clients before various federal and regulatory agencies.
