Description

Banks provide many different products and services, so there are a myriad of ways that litigation can result. This book addresses ten of the most common areas in which banks, lenders, and other financial institutions face litigation, with one chapter dedicated to each area. It provides an overview of the relevant area of the law as well as practical advice on the issues that usually arise. Each chapter includes a discussion of the strategies most commonly employed in that particular area. Topics covered are:

• Check claims
• Wire fraud
• Credit and debit card claims
• Lender claims
• Commercial real estate loan defaults
• Employment claims
• Safe deposit box claims
• Fiduciary claims
• Third-party discovery
• Class actions

Because each chapter essentially stands alone as a primer on litigation in a particular area, a practitioner can consult each chapter independently as issues arise. Alternatively, a "front to back" reading of this book will orient a practitioner to the issues that are most likely to arise and will give guidance on issues to look for when counseling clients.
