Preparing for Conflict: Negotiating, Drafting & Litigating Loan or Workout Documents - Seminar on February 25
Have you checked your boilerplate lately? There is no longer anything standard about the "standard" language in financial services contracts. Whether you are drafting or litigating origination documents, workouts or settlement agreements, you won’t want to miss this seminar (on Thursday, February 25, in our Dallas office)! Otherwise, you could be litigating in an unfriendly forum, fighting over representations made before the loan documents were signed, or find yourself without adequate remedies when the other side defaults. Learn how to minimize your risks and strengthen your position by effective negotiation and drafting.
The seminar brochure [download] is attached. And here's a short version of the agenda and session topics:
- 11:30 - 12:15: registration and lunch
- arbitration clauses
- forum selection clauses; venue and choice of law provisions
- indemnity clauses
- remedy provisions
- jury waiver provisions
- merger clauses
- panel discussion: The View From 10,000 Feet (I'm "on" this panel.)
- 4:30 - 5:30p: reception
We know that these topics are "hot" ones - we're dealing with them as we handle distressed investments.
Our seminar speakers include a former Texas Supreme Court Judge, litigators currently handling CRE finance litigation, and workout lawyers.
Who should attend? This seminar is for any professional who regularly negotiates, drafts or litigates financial services contracts, including in-house counsel, transactional lawyers, special assets and workout professionals and litigators. If you deal with contracts on the front end or after the fighting starts, this program is for you.
I know that this blog announcement is late; but since space is limited (and we're paying for the food at lunch and then drinks at the closing reception), we first offered this one to clients.
However, we have a limited number of "extra" spaces. And you're invited.
If you'd like to attend, please send (ASAP) an e-mail with your contact information to:
Directions to our offices, and parking instructions, are on the brochure.
If you're in Fort Worth\Dallas tomorrow, please consider coming.
I'll enjoy the opportunity to meet you.
