A Practical Overview of Common Legal Issues
Faced by New Bankers

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This half-day session will give the attendee a practical, big-picture legal overview for new lenders. This
workshop is designed to be very real world. The instructor will take you through legal issues surrounding
the entire lending process: from making initial contact with a prospect, to documenting the loan (or more
precisely working with credit and navigating issues surrounding using form documents or attorney-
prepared documents), to managing the lending relationship while the loan is performing, to handling
troubled credits in a pre-foreclosure situation, to working with attorneys when the matter goes into
liquidation.
This program is meant to ease the minds of new bankers, and banks with new bankers who are afraid that
the new banker might say something to a prospect that could give rise to liability, or do something during
the loan documentation process that might create regulatory problems for the bank, or do/say something
to a troubled borrower that could compromise the bank for a workout perspective.
WHO SHOULD PARTICPATE
New lenders with less than three years' experience will find this seminar worthwhile. This program will have
useful information that would be helpful to any banker.
Make your attendance count towards your continuing professional education credits! MBA will provide a certificate of
attendance that you may submit to the appropriate advisory board to determine if this program qualifies for credits.
