Commercial and asset-based lending representation requires a broad base of legal knowledge. In addition to addressing the unique legal issues within each transaction, it is often necessary to create, perfect, and enforce security interests in real and personal property and address related bankruptcy, tax and environmental law issues. All of this knowledge must be applied to the transactions in a way that appropriately addresses both legal and practical business concerns.
