Agricultural enterprises need capital to grow. Our firm has an established practice advising borrowers and lenders on equipment, livestock, dairy and commodities financing, as well as crop production, meatpacking, and vineyard and orchard loans. In the last five years, we have documented, negotiated and closed agricultural financing transactions in more than 40 states on behalf of banks, farm credit system associations, life insurance companies, agricultural private equity funds and other clients.
In cases of financial distress, we advise lenders and borrowers on agricultural loan workouts, foreclosures and bankruptcies. It is not uncommon for insolvent borrowers to file counterclaims under lender liability theories, and our attorneys have extensive experience defending such claims.
