Financial Services Litigation
Litigation breeds uncertainty. For banks and other financial institutions, stability and predictability are a must. While we can’t change the nature of litigation, we strive to give our clients the information, the analysis, and the opportunities you need to evaluate litigation risk and effectively navigate disputes.
We have represented clients in financial services litigation in approximately 80 percent of the country in the last 10 years.
From borrower litigation on an individual and class basis, regulatory disputes and enforcement actions to commercial foreclosures and workouts and bankruptcy proceedings, our clients trust us to persuasively communicate financial complexities to judges and juries in order to achieve positive outcomes.
Evolving default and delay tactics threaten the bottom line of many lenders and creditors. Our lawyers assist with commercial foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings, seeking early appointment of receivers, negotiating recalculations, enforcing guaranties and pursuing full recourse.
We move quickly to enforce our clients’ rights in cases involving:
- Bankruptcy representation regarding Chapter 11 plans, cram downs, and adversary proceedings, including pursuing carve-out liability, fraudulent transfers, preference liability and determinations of non-discharge generally and non-dischargeability of debts specifically
- Bad bookkeeper issues
- Check and wire fraud
- Commercial mortgage foreclosure litigation
- Commercial real estate development and construction project disputes
- Construction and mechanics lien litigation, including claims on public projects under the Miller Act
We help lenders across the country protect their interests when borrowers try to avoid paying back loans. Whether the dispute involves credit card payments, mortgages, construction liens or other claims, we handle investigations, litigation, and appeals involving:
- Consumer mortgage foreclosure, including defense of lender liability and other claims raised by borrowers in judicial and nonjudicial foreclosures
- Class action litigation, including defense of consumer financial institutions, debt collection agencies, residential mortgage servicers, loan investors, and trustees in individual and putative class actions asserted under various state and federal laws
- Bankruptcy litigation ancillary to civil litigation as well as adversary proceedings
- State and federal enforcement actions
- Condominium Association foreclosures and disputes
- Construction lending litigation and mechanics liens
