Loan Participation Agreements - Contract Drafting Perspectives for the Lead Bank

 

In a perfect world, loans would be performing, profits would be shared, and risk of loss would be low. But we live in the real world.

Loan participations can be a favorable arrangement to both lead banks and participants. However promising participation loans can easily become problem loans and then the lead bank and participant bank could find themselves involved in litigation against each other. That litigation can put a strain on the lead bank’s resources at a time when both parties should be sharing the resources for loss mitigation. To avoid protracted litigation later, a bank should give close consideration to the language of the participation agreement, which can allocate the risk of participation loans before problems arise.
