Reliable New Jersey Banking Lawyers
Helping lenders and borrowers adjust to an ever-changing economic environment
The U.S. economy turns on consumer and commercial lending and borrowing practices. Banks are at the center of this movement. In recent years, economic downturns have caused regulatory officials to step in to correct problems seen in banking practices. To consumers and commercial borrowers, this regulatory crackdown means they have to overcome ever-higher hurdles to secure necessary financing. To lenders and loan officers, it means more stringent background checks and keeping a closer eye on existing loans. In this sociopolitical landscape, Serber Konschak LLP has dedicated itself to helping clients adjust to changing regulations. We provide legal services related to each of the following matters:
