Fulbright’s Representative Subprime and Credit Crisis Experience

• Fulbright’s Subprime and Credit Crisis Practice Group is actively assisting U.S. and European banks and fund managers in connection with sophisticated subprime matters involving restructurings and potential litigation. We have assisted entities purchasing and selling subprime mortgages, including a mortgage subsidiary of a top Wall Street investment banking firm. 

• In 2003, before the subprime crisis was daily news, Fulbright’s Subprime and Credit Crisis Practice Group defended a nine-week class-action jury trial in California. The suit was brought on behalf of borrowers of a bankrupt subprime mortgage lender alleging aiding and abetting fraud by an investment banking firm in the sale of subprime mortgages. 

• Fulbright’s Subprime and Credit Crisis Practice Group is representing one of the largest default services law firms in the country in connection with litigation in bankruptcy courts where the U.S. Trustee is seeking sanctions against loan servicers and lenders. This involves emerging bankruptcy issues, class actions against servicers, banks, middle-servicers and law firms.
