Experience

Representing financial institutions in all manner of litigation, including high profile cases in which the banks were alleged to be responsible for fraudulent schemes engaged in by their customers, lender liability claims, and consumer protection statute claims.
Numerous trials on behalf of Goldberg Kohn’s lender clients in bankruptcy cases, including those in which the lender objected to the use of cash collateral or sought the appointment of a trustee, and in trials to determine whether an involuntary bankruptcy was properly commenced.
Successfully prosecuted dozens of complex commercial foreclosure actions, including foreclosures of commercial properties ranging from office buildings, condominium buildings, apartment buildings, hotels, student housing, residential developments, golf courses and other recreational properties, industrial and manufacturing facilities, cold storage facilities, shopping centers and other retail properties. These cases often prompt lender liability counterclaims that are defended in the course of the foreclosure.
Defending a finance company alleged to have controlled or aided and abetted its borrower in selling in excess of $100 million of subordinated notes in violation of the securities laws.
