Lender liability law recognizes that, in certain circumstances, financial institutions can be liable if they do not treat their borrowers fairly. This can occur not only in relation to mortgages and foreclosure actions, but also with respect to fraudulent or negligent lending practices, or when a financial institution acts in a manner that deepens the insolvency of its borrower to the detriment of other creditors. When this occurs, lenders may be found liable under a variety of theories including breach of contract, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duties, misrepresentation, and possibly fraud.

Burr & Forman LLP is committed to recruiting, hiring, developing, and promoting lawyers and staff without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, military and protected veteran status, sexual orientation or disability.

We recognize that our ability to serve our clients is strengthened by establishing a diverse workforce in which differences are accepted and valued on an inclusive basis.
