January
Loan Workouts & Collections
 
In today’s economic environment, lenders are encountering an increasing number of troubled loans. While exploring creative ways of restructuring these loans in an effective workout, lenders are required to recognize the economic effect of any loan workout and potential losses with regard to the loan. Ultimately, if attempts at a loan workout fail, the lender may be faced with foreclosing on and liquidating its collateral so as to minimize any potential losses. With this in mind, Aldrich & Bonnefin is pleased to invite you, your loan officers, loan workout specialists and special assets personnel to attend a seminar on Loan Workouts and Collections. This seminar will address the accounting and regulatory treatments of troubled debt restructures, as well as new federal programs for the purchase of troubled assets. In addition, the seminar will include a discussion of some of the issues a lender may encounter when foreclosing on real estate collateral, including new state law requirements for contacting the borrower before proceeding with foreclosure, as well as choosing between judicial and non-judicial foreclosure and bidding strategies.

Points of Interest Include:
  • Dealing with Problem Loans
  • Current Real Estate Foreclosure Issues
  • Exercising a Lender’s Right of Setoff

  • Key Speaker(s):
