Commercial Real Estate Lending Today
August 2025
While commercial real estate (CRE) lending has continued to be a sweet spot for many lenders, high interest rates and uncertainties in the economy have posed challenges. In a recent Federal Reserve Board senior loan officer survey, many responders said they are continuing to tighten standards for their CRE loans. Given the state of the industry, lenders may want to consider reviewing their CRE underwriting and documentation processes.
With these developments in mind, Aldrich & Bonnefin, PLC is pleased to present its Commercial Real Estate Lending Today seminar. We will cover critical due diligence considerations with respect to CRE loans, including the evaluation of the real estate collateral, appraisal requirements and junior lienholder issues. We’ll also discuss loan documentation issues, such as those relating to loan modifications (and the potential impact on lien priority), default rate issues, and issues related to income producing properties. We will round out our program with an in-depth discussion of title insurance issues (including key endorsements and comparing the CLTA and ALTA policies), and California’s one-action and anti-deficiency laws.
September 2025
With ongoing economic uncertainty and shifting priorities at the CFPB, mortgage lenders are facing increased pressure to stay informed and compliant. Now more than ever, it’s essential to understand the latest legal and regulatory developments to protect your institution’s profitability and loan portfolio.
Join us for BCG’s Mortgage Lending Compliance Seminar, where we will cover critical updates in federal and California-specific mortgage laws. This seminar will provide practical guidance on how to originate and service loans in compliance with evolving regulations. Topics will include the SAFE Act, HMDA (who’s covered and what are some of the common violations), TILA/RESPA mortgage servicing rules, the flood insurance regulations and a survey of relevant California laws. This Seminar is ideal for both newcomers to mortgage lending and seasoned compliance professionals seeking a refresher or update. Whether you're looking to build a strong foundation or sharpen your existing knowledge, this session is designed for you.
October 2025
Aldrich & Bonnefin is pleased to invite you to attend our full-day Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Seminar. Our discussion will include the status of the various beneficial ownership information (BOI) rules as they pertain to covered reporting companies, access to BOI reported to FinCEN and the continuing obligation of financial institutions to collect BOI at account opening.
We will go through the recent FinCEN and federal banking agencies exemption order providing relief from the requirement that banks obtain TIN information directly from a customer prior to opening an account.
During this Seminar, we will also cover in detail customer due diligence (CDD) expectations with a focus on providing services to high-risk customers, including the need to apply a risk-based approach to assess customer relationships.
Finally, we will discuss recent BSA developments, such as BSA enforcement actions, that may impact on the BSA compliance activities of financial institutions.
