Michael A. Rosow

I act as a strategic partner for banks and other financial institutions, working hand-in-hand with workout professionals to implement collection strategies in a timely and professional manner, and delivering strategic advice to clients who need to determine the best way to collect and enforce their rights. I also serve as an external workout professional to guide banks and loan officers through the process. In my creditors’ remedies practice, I work on matters such as the enforcement of secured loans, the acquisition of assets or a company that is distressed, bidding on and acquiring distressed debt, and collections on unsecured notes.

In addition to representing lenders in creditors’ remedies and workout litigation, I also represent banks, other financial institutions, and receivers in complex litigation matters. Because I have in-depth experience with both the business goals of financial institutions and the process of complex litigation, I am able to simplify matters in a way that supports my clients. I have experience in heavily litigated bank disputes, including lender liability claims, counter claims against banks, claims of coercion, and fraudulent inducement. I frequently work on cases involving Ponzi schemes, servicing, rights and obligations, mortgage foreclosures, receiverships and claim and delivery, including cases involving entities that have gone through bankruptcy or have issues associated with a bankruptcy filing.

Because of my experience foreclosing on a huge variety of real estate, I also represent property owners, developers, and lenders on a range of matters including disputes related to the purchase and sale of real estate, title insurance disputes, boundary disputes, condemnation, and mechanic’s liens. I work with my clients to understand the process, particularly the cost and timing implications of litigation, so that they can make the best decisions to accomplish their business goals.
