Loan Documentation Attorney

Lowis & Gellen LLP is in need of a part-time Of Counsel 1099 attorney with loan documentation experience who is admitted to practice in the state of Illinois. Consistent with our commitment to working parents, the candidate can work from home with occasional travel to court or closings.

Ideally, the candidate’s experience would include:

1. Commercial finance
2. Secured lending
3. Reviewing contracts and loan documents
4. Reviewing title
5. Preparing loan-related documents, including promissory notes, mortgages, credit agreements, security agreements, UCCs, indemnities, guaranties, subordination agreements, and business organization documents
6. Documenting loan transactions (drafting loan documents on behalf of financial institutions that may involve lien perfection issues, collateral, and cross-collateral)
7. Performing due diligence
8. Preparing attorney opinion letters

Admission to the Indiana bar and/or knowledge of SBA or Agricultural lending procedures are also a plus, but not required.

We value excellent writing, communication, interpersonal, negotiation, organizational, and problem-solving skills. The candidate needs to have the ability to craft creative strategies for our clients, take initiative and manage competing priorities, produce accurate documents under tight deadlines, and be persistent and proactive. Qualified candidates will be committed to providing exceptional client service and will have an opportunity to be mentored by some of Chicago’s leading defense attorneys.
