Banking & Financial Services

The stakes are high in the world of banking and finance. Our clients rely on us to protect their interests with expert advice and steadfast advocacy. 

We counsel a range of lending institutions, including New Jersey banks, out-of-state banks and national financial institutions, regarding local and federal legal and regulatory issues relating to bank operations and administration. Our attorneys work as an integrated team to bring problems and transactions to a speedy, efficient resolution, and when necessary, engage in litigation to solve more complex issues.

Specifically, we advise clients in the origination, structuring, documentation and closing of a full range of commercial lending transactions, including secured and unsecured, mortgage-backed and asset-based loans; participations; project finance lending; and lending in regard to intangible and intellectual property. We also assist clients in a wide range of default and restructuring situations, including representing corporate trust departments in dealing with the problems of indenture trustees on defaulted or troubled bond issues and bankruptcies.

To keep our lender clients current on developments affecting their businesses and operations, we hold periodic briefings and seminars, as well as propose changes to update loan documentation.
