Nonperforming Loan Workouts

Nonperforming loans (NPLs) can cause numerous issues for many commercial lenders. At Private Lender Law, we believe that trouble is an opportunity. Our firm can transform these challenged assets into profitable outcomes with our comprehensive services for borrowers and lenders, including guidance on workouts, foreclosures and loan recovery strategies. 

Our capable team has extensive experience navigating these complex loan situations and attaining the most favorable results for all parties. 

Understanding Nonperforming Loans

An NPL occurs when the borrower fails to make scheduled payments for a specific period. They can happen for several reasons, such as cash flow issues, economic downturns and financial mismanagement. The classifications of these loans include substandard (typically past due more than 90 days), doubtful (full recovery is highly unlikely) and loss (uncollectible).

The impact of NPLs affects both the borrower and the lender, with issues such as reduced cash flow, higher capital requirements and potential credit rating downgrades, to name a few. Effective legal counsel is essential for unraveling and mitigating the complex legal, regulatory and financial issues.

Effective Borrower Representation Strategies

We collaborate with borrowers to develop targeted strategies to protect their interests when their loan is in or at risk of default:

Our NPL Resolution Process

Private Lender Law has developed an effective process for resolving NPL situations and converting trouble into opportunity. We begin with an initial assessment and strategic planning sessions. We will also conduct a comprehensive documentation review and legal position analysis, along with a collateral valuation and recovery potential evaluation.

Our team will use this information to develop multiple resolution pathways specific to each situation. We’ll identify and evaluate the risks and opportunities associated with each option to determine their viability. We’ll also negotiate and document the chosen solutions and provide reliable support from implementation through resolution.

We take an aggressive approach to commercial real estate loan knockouts. We focus on strengthening loan documentation before problems arise. We’ve also implemented early-warning systems to identify at-risk loans and engage in proactive restructuring of stressed loans.
