2019 Advanced Underwriting Workshop

August 27 to 28, 2019

35 West Wacker Drive
Chicago, IL 60601

This new workshop has been created for Underwriters with 1+ years of experience in commercial lending or private equity investing.

Learn from case studies of real deals gone wrong. The cases will take a look at the assumptions at the beginning of the deal, including over-looked due diligence items, to the evolvement of the deal through loan work-out, which resulted in losses for the lender and shareholders. Take away invaluable lessons learned to make better credit decisions in the future. In addition, examine current trends in the changing retail industry, and how to structure around some of the pitfalls when lending to retailers. Moreover, continued expansion of foreign trade provides lenders with more opportunities to finance imported inventory. Learn about both the practical and legal perspectives of lending on in-transit inventory on the water. Other topics include the impact of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) on collateral, and nuances of cross-border lending.

The course will run from 8:30AM to 5:00PM on the first day and 8:30AM to 1:00PM on the second day.
