Foreclosure and Collection


Client and Industry Challenges

Collecting on commercial obligations is often a complicated and strategic undertaking. Collateral may be subject to rapid dissipation.  Third parties, and guarantors, may have responsibilities that need to be pursued.  Historical transfers need to be examined for possible avoidance.  Possible counterclaims and affirmative defenses must be considered.  Achieving success, therefore, requires professionals who not only understand applicable state and federal law, but who can navigate with agility in both federal and state court. 

For decades, Snell & Wilmer has been providing these sophisticated services to its commercial lenders.  Our foreclosure and collection attorneys are comfortable in the debtor/creditor arena, are recognized by their peers as being leaders in this field, and represent some of the largest financial institutions and lenders who do business in this space.  Throughout the Southwestern United States, our attorneys represent clients in a wide variety of workouts, bankruptcies, foreclosures, receiverships, debt sales and acquisitions, and claims litigation.
