We Defend Hard-Money Lenders
As banks continue tightening their purse strings, so-called “hard-money” lenders or private lenders are taking advantage of the opportunity to lend to shunned borrowers.
Working through brokers, hard-money lenders typically offer high-interest, short-term loans to borrowers who cannot get traditional bank financing. The interest rate is higher than standard bank loans and the length of the loan can be as short as a few months.
We represent private lenders in litigation regarding bankruptcies and collections, loan documentation, lender liability matters and contract disputes. We also handle issues related to disputes regarding:
- Loans and financing
- Construction defects
- Buy-sell agreements
- Easements and boundary issues
- Landlord-tenant disputes
