WEBINAR DETAILS
When a loan defaults, documentation is the first
place litigators and regulators look. Are your commercial loan files
defensible? From single-member LLCs to complex multi-tier holding companies,
lending to legal entities requires more than a signed promissory note.
Authority, beneficial ownership, guaranties, resolutions, security interests,

requirements for lending to various legal entities, such as corporations, LLCs,
limited partnerships, trusts, etc.
