Lowis & Gellen Conducts Seminars on Pitfalls and Issues on Taking Security for Loans in Europe and the U.S.

On August 15, 2006, Lowis & Gellen conducted a catered one-hour lunch seminar for LaSalle Bank’s International Corporate Banking group. Speakers at the seminar included Robert Leavitt, Of Counsel to Lowis & Gellen, who talked about the pitfalls and issues on taking security for loans in the U.S., Kevin Clancy, Associate Attorney with Lowis & Gellen, who talked about lender liability in loans with junior lenders, and Paula Laird, Partner with the U.K. firm, Wragge and Co., who spoke about pitfalls and issues on taking security in European loans. The well-attended seminar was held at LaSalle Bank’s Chicago headquarters.

Two days later, Lowis & Gellen hosted another catered one-hour lunch seminar, this time for the Cross Border Finance Group of LaSalle Business Credit, LLC, a LaSalle Bank affiliate. Mr. Leavitt and Ms. Laird both spoke at this seminar on the same topics as at the prior seminar. This second seminar, also well attended, was held at Lowis & Gellen’s Chicago office in their new conference facilities.
