Lender liability refers to claims that a lender’s conduct gave rise to losses for a borrower or other parties. These claims can involve misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, or improper loan practices that impact enforcement or recovery.
The core elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process typically starts with an evaluation, followed by discovery, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation.
In lender liability matters, common terms you will encounter include misrepresentation, fiduciary duty, disclosures, remedies, and enforceable agreements.
