Services

Drafting/Reviewing Finance Leases & Related Documents

We assist in the drafting and interpretation of equipment leasing agreements that serve to preserve and protect our clients’ interests under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law. We also have substantial experience in reviewing and drafting vendor program agreements, broker agreements, and similar contracts.

Resolving Disputes

When a dispute arises between the parties to an equipment lease or finance transaction, we attempt to resolve the dispute in a common-sense, efficient manner. In the event the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, we possess the necessary experience to litigate or to defend the matter in state or federal court, including bankruptcy and appellate courts, and we are well-versed in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, as well as post-judgment execution procedures.

Equipment Recovery

When the other party is not holding up its end of the bargain, it is imperative that our clients efficiently reclaim their equipment or other security. Our firm has extensive experience in pre-judgment recovery techniques and remedies.
