Banking and Commercial Lending
The firm's banking and commercial lending attorneys are a multi-faceted practice group with years of experience and knowledge representing a wide range of lenders, including large financial institutions and local community banks, and borrowers, including multi-million dollar revenue companies and small businesses.
The attorneys focus on structuring various types of credit facilities, including asset based loans, real estate financings, working capital and acquisition lines of credit, and direct pay and stand by letters of credit. They also counsel clients in the development of real estate ventures and other business opportunities, and counsel lenders and borrowers in secured transactions. In addition, the Banking and Commercial Lending Group has been extensively involved in financial restructurings, work-outs, foreclosures and bankruptcy related matters.

They also have represented clients in bond financings with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) and New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority (EFA).
Whether the attorneys in the firm's Banking and Commercial Lending Group are structuring a financing, negotiating an inter-creditor agreement or advising a client in a work-out or bankruptcy, the Banking and Commercial Lending Group practice utilizes its expertise and problem solving skills to close the deal.
