We regularly provide advice to our lending clients in the defense of lender liability claims. When our financial services clients are faced with a lawsuit, our banking and litigation groups use their combined expertise to aggressively defend the client's position. When settlement is the appropriate strategy, we also provide creative advice and guidance to our clients through the settlement process. As the Vermont representative of HFS' Network of Federal and State Counsel, we can provide our clients with immediate access to expert counsel on lending issues in all jurisdictions. We regularly speak on topics of interest to our lending clients, and provide updates on legislative and judicial developments in Vermont affecting our clients.
