Partner Micah Halverson and attorney Brandon Marchiafava from Kutak Rock’s Denver office will present on the Commercial Mortgage Modifications: Lien Priority, Title Insurance, and Bankruptcy Issues Webinar on Friday, April 26 at 1 p.m. ET.
This CLE course will provide guidance to counsel representing lenders and borrowers in negotiating and formalizing modifications to commercial mortgages, with a focus on safeguarding their clients' interests against challenges related to lien priority, title complications, and bankruptcy. Mortgage modifications offer opportunities for extending loan maturity, averting defaults and foreclosure, and restructuring loan terms. They also enable lenders to address documentation ambiguities and potential disputes, while securing waivers and releases as part of the modification process. Micah and Brandon will delve into current trends in commercial mortgage modifications and offer strategies for counsel on both sides to ensure that these changes effectively shield their clients from lien issues, title complexities, and bankruptcy risks.
