On April 4, 2016, the Court granted the motion for summary judgment filed by Jackson Walker on behalf of its client, an affiliate of a national bank. The client had foreclosed on its collateral, multi-family units, and sued the guarantor for the deficiency after the borrower filed bankruptcy. The guarantor alleged fraud in the inducement among other defenses. The Court entered a judgment in excess of $3 million in favor of our client, the full amount claimed.

Partners Lisa A. Powell and Mark Steiner and associate Jamila Brinson represented the client in the case.
