Shumway Van & Hansen represents lenders, loan servicers, borrowers, and tenants and landlords in defense and enforcement litigation, transactional workouts, and bankruptcy matters. We also represent both sellers and purchasers of distressed loans and properties, and provide legal expertise in related areas. Our services include but are not limited to:

 

Representation of Lenders and Services. We have considerable experience in renegotiating troubled loans, addressing lender liability exposure, strengthening the lender’s position if the borrower ultimately files bankruptcy, and making arrangements for resumption of loan payments and/or setting deadlines for disposition or refinancing of property.

 

Workouts. A successful workout requires the ability to deal with a wide variety of issues, and we take advantage of the unique wealth of information and expertise possessed by our firm’s colleagues. Our overall approach to workouts is a “business oriented” one that sensitizes the client to relevant legal issues and tailors the legal response to conform to the client’s business considerations.

 

Judicial Foreclosures and Receiverships. Our attorneys have extensive experience in receiverships, prosecuting and defending judicial foreclosure matters of varying sizes and degrees of complexity, and obtaining and collecting deficiency judgments.

 

Bond Litigation. We are experienced in litigation matters relating to municipal bond financing for real estate development and related infrastructure facilities and services.
