Banking and Lending

Banking Practice Group

Representing Michigan banking institutions and acting as local counsel for lenders across the country, Sommers Schwartz is knowledgeable and experienced at identifying issues, proposing solutions, and guiding lender clients through a wide spectrum of commercial loan transactions.

Our financial institution clients seek our assistance and representation in banking and lending matters such as:

• Real estate and construction lending
• Asset-based financing
• Troubled loans and workouts
• Start to finish documentation, negotiation, and closing services

With our attorneys by their side, our banking and lending clients enter into complex borrowing and lending structures confident that they are well-informed and have taken the precautions necessary to avoid problem loans.

In addition to banks, Sommers Schwartz attorneys represent non-depository financial institutions, insurance companies, and a wide array of institutional and alternative lenders. We keep both ourselves and our clients up to date and provide cutting edge loan structure and enforcement advice that our lender clients need to be successful.

We handle all phases of negotiation, documentation, closing and loan administration services for new loans, loan modifications and workout transactions for sophisticated conventional and non-conventional lenders.

Both Sides of the Closing Table

Our years of experience in banking and commercial lending provide an ideal balance of legal proficiency and practical business acumen. This allows Sommers Schwartz lawyers to cross over to either side of the closing table and effectively represent both borrowers and lenders. We are ideally suited to furnish knowledgeable advice to facilitate timely, cost-effective, and comprehensive loan transaction services.
