Lender Liability
Lender liability matters may involve allegations that a financial institution’s conduct in connection with a credit relationship caused harm to a borrower or third party. Such disputes may arise from loan origination, administration, modification, servicing, or enforcement and often focus on whether the lender’s actions were consistent with contractual obligations, regulatory expectations, and generally accepted banking practices applicable during the period at issue.
