This CLE webinar will discuss drafting and interpreting exclusions from collateral for assets that are subject to restrictions on being pledged by the loan parties. The speaker will also discuss the Article 9 rules that override restrictions on assignment.

Description

Many commercial lenders expect to obtain a security interest in all the borrowers' assets. But often there are unanticipated problems. Some important assets might be owned by a related party, perhaps even a party of which the lender is unaware. Some assets might be subject to a statutory or constructive trust. Most important, some important assets are likely to be subject to a legal or contractual restriction on assignment, and that restriction might impede attachment of enforcement of a security interest.

This program will explore these issues by highlighting common traps and the due diligence and drafting techniques to avoid them. The program will delve into Article 9's rules that override restrictions on assignment, explaining to what assets the rules apply, to what assets the rules do not apply, and the extent to which the rules can be relied upon.
