Commercial Security

Working for national and
provincial lenders

Our team has extensive experience dealing with all aspects of Banking and Secured Lending.

We work for national banks, credit unions, and private lenders to document and secure their loans. We have undergone the rigorous scrutiny required by the national banks in order to be authorized service providers for them. Our experience encompasses all types of security including commercial mortgages, personal property security agreements, guarantees, environmental indemnities, debt service agreements, assignment of project agreements, assignment of life insurance, assignments and postponements, and share pledge agreements. Regularly, we work with other lenders regarding Priority and Standstill Agreements. We are intimately familiar with registrations in the Land Title Office and Personal Property Registry.

Our Firm has successfully secured thousands of commercial loans, including more complex situations such as:

Pari Passu Agreements
Syndicated Loan Agreements
Bare Trust Agreements
Motor Vehicle Fleets
Aircraft

In conjunction with our other departments, we document and secure loans in the context of business purchases and sales, including vendor take back loans, business and construction settlements, and family break-ups.
