When a borrower and a lender disagree about the terms of a financing arrangement — or when a lender’s conduct crosses a legal line — the consequences can be severe for both sides. Disputes over financing agreements arise in a wide range of contexts: syndicated loans, lines of credit, mezzanine financing, guaranties, and other credit arrangements. At issue may be whether a default actually occurred, whether the lender acted in accordance with the agreement, or whether the lender’s conduct gives rise to claims of its own.
Lender liability claims arise when a financial institution oversteps its role — by exercising undue control over a borrower’s business, making promises it later refuses to honor, or acting in bad faith in administering or accelerating a loan. These claims can be powerful, but they require careful factual and legal analysis to establish.
Ford O’Brien Landy LLP represents both borrowers and lenders in financing disputes, including breach of contract claims, lender liability actions, and disputes over the enforcement of guaranties and other credit support. We understand the commercial realities on both sides of these relationships and develop strategies that reflect them.
