Just how complicated is the area of secured lending law? It is the most litigated area of all business law. And for good reason, too. It is governed by the myriad laws and regulations, from the Uniform Commercial Code to the Federal Tax Lien Act, from the Bankruptcy Code to the International Chamber of Commerce’s rules on letters of credit. And at stake is a tremendous concentration of assets involved with commercial credit.
Pratt’s Commercial Lending Library: Internet Edition brings unprecedented expert analysis together with thousands of primary source documents, including the UCC, laws, regulations, and agency documents and issuances – all on a high-speed search platform that allows time-saving, efficient searches of selections or of the complete database.
