DISCOVER AUGUSTA'S BEST Commercial Loan Workouts and Foreclosures
The firm’s commercial loan workout and foreclosure practice covers the representation of lenders in both South Carolina and Georgia. Our practice includes all aspects of troubled loans from non-adversarial loan modifications to contested foreclosures, bankruptcy, and litigation. We have experience foreclosing both real and personal property collateral. Our clients include small local banks, to regional banks, to large national lenders.
We also have an aggressive team of lawyers who are experienced in post-judgment collection and have collected significant funds from debtors. Our experience includes cases where debtors have secreted assets and made fraudulent transfers. We are skilled at navigating through the rescission of fraudulent conveyances. The firm also has substantial experience representing lenders in priority disputes with competing creditors and in handling title insurance claims.
When collateral consists of environmentally contaminated property, our workout and foreclosure group collaborates with our environmental law group to assist lenders in navigating the complexities involved in such cases. Our experience includes a broad range of environmentally sensitive collateral from gas stations to manufacturing facilities containing nuclear material.
Importance of Loan Workout and Foreclosure Law
Because of recent law and precedent adopted to address perceived abuses in the foreclosure industry, today’s lender’s sit squarely in the cross-hairs of debtors’ lawyers looking to take advantage of any misstep in the foreclosure process. In order to minimize the risk of lender liability claims and to increase recoveries, lenders should retain careful, competent, and experienced counsel.
