We are currently assisting clients with cases under Home Improvement contractor abuses, RESPA concerning broker compensation, TILA, HOEPA, mortgage insurance and affiliate relationships; actions brought as a result of mortgage payoff-related charges being imposed; predatory lending disputes; and claims under fair lending laws. Many suits we litigate present groundbreaking issues with wide industry impact. We also have litigated lending practices in particular arenas, including pricing, loan origination, default management, bankruptcy (including reaffirmations), collections and loan foreclosure.

We regularly advise clients concerning their obligations under RESPA, and in particular the prohibitions contained in Section 8 of RESPA regarding kickbacks and referral fees. In this area, we have provided guidance related to the establishment of "controlled business arrangements" between providers of settlement services and affiliated entities; computerized loan origination; the payment of "yield spread premiums" and other forms of compensation to mortgage brokers.

We do more than litigate. In anticipation of potential litigation, we assist clients with internal investigations, responding to pre-suit demands and developing internal company procedures.
