We represented a public bank as the lender in a complex loan transaction for the purposes of constructing a mixed use development within a specially-designated community improvement district (CID) in Missouri. We counseled the lender throughout the transaction, including performing title and survey review and preparing all of the applicable loan documents. Additionally, we also negotiated with several of the construction project contractors, including the architect, to expedite the transaction. In addition to traditional zoning requirements, we also had to ensure the project met the CID requirements before completing the loan, which included additional review of regulations and heightened negotiations with the title insurance company. The transaction was ultimately completed to enable the project to efficiently move forward.

We defend mortgage lenders on behalf of a national title insurance company. Often times these representations occur in the context of personal bankruptcies -- the bankruptcy trustee will seek to avoid the mortgage lender's mortgage based on an error in the execution or recording of the mortgage. In one such case, we defended a mortgage that was recorded in the wrong county. We quickly negotiated a settlement with the trustee that prevented the filing of an adversary proceeding and saved on costs. The settlement also permitted the mortgage lender to record its mortgage in the correct county and completely resolved the title defect.
