usda guaranteed lending practice

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Guaranteed Lending practice, led by attorneys John Gross and John Richard, provides lenders with experienced counsel on USDA guaranteed lending issues from start to finish. With a broad spectrum of practical experience and legal knowledge based on years of work in the Business & Industry and Community Programs lending arenas, we consider not only the legal aspects of the lending environment, but also the individual regulatory and business interests of our clients in each lending situation. We have counseled banks through the unique origination and servicing process applicable to USDA guaranteed loans in an effort to safeguard our clients’ portfolios and to maximize loan recovery in the event of a default or workout. In those situations when a guaranteed loan cannot be returned to profitability, our clients benefit from our extensive hands-on knowledge as banking litigators to resolve disputes involving USDA guarantees through the USDA’s National Appeals Division and beyond. While the servicing issues bankers face with USDA guaranteed loans are often local, the national scope of the loan programs allows us to represent clients across the southeast and the nation.
