Commercial Lending

We represent lenders in a wide range of commercial loan transactions, including construction financing and land lease financing, and can provide in-depth legal advice on a wide range of credit administration and commercial banking regulatory issues such as documentation standards, and cash management and escrow activities.

Our Banking and Financial Institutions Group provides prompt and competent service in negotiating and documenting loan transactions, including the preparation of all necessary loan documents, such as building loan, security, inter-creditor, subordination, and stock pledge agreements, mortgages, financing statements, and opinion letters. We can also advise loan officers in performance of legal due diligence concerning borrowers and collateral.

When we assist in commercial loan transactions, the DARS legal team works to ensure that the transaction closes as promptly and economically as possible, utilizing either our affiliate title company or one selected by one or more of the parties to the transaction. Providing both lenders and borrowers with competent, responsive counsel remains a vital commitment of our Banking and Financial Institutions Group.
