This webinar will provide the banker with a basic framework of Business Law including the judicial process. Emphasis will be placed on how the legal system can help/harm the banker including how to avoid a lawsuit due to lender liability through maintaining both “ethical” behavior and effective “negotiations.”  
 
A review of the “stages of litigation,” alternatives to litigation including “arbitration” and “mediation,” and the borrower’s business structure (from a legal perspective), will be displayed. The webinar will also cover the nature and characteristics of “contracts” (the promissory note), “problem loan” situations, and “collection” efforts. Additionally, “banking regulations” and “tort reform” will be discussed.
 
The webinar will also cover the concept of Lender Liability including recent industry trends. This portion of the session will address some of the “technical aspects” of this often overlooked subject.
 
This webinar is a must for all bankers who want to better understand business law basics and avoid expensive, unwanted litigation!
