Great communication in a emotional stressful time of my life. Lawyers knew their content and provided timely advice. While it wasn't cheap it provided value and allowed me to move on to the next stage of my life. They are down to business - I never physically set eyes on my lawyer but still felt supported. Recommended to anyone who needs legal support.

I recently engaged the services of Alana Pointon to assist with a property settlement and custody agreement with my ex-partner. Going into the process, I had very limited knowledge, but Alana took the time to explain everything in clear, understandable terms, which made a huge difference for me.My ex-partner was extremely difficult to deal with, and there were times when additional legal advice and reassurance were urgently needed—particularly when he became threatening and made concerning comments about not returning my child. Alana handled these situations with calm professionalism, offering sound guidance and unwavering support.She was kind, considerate, and an absolute wealth of knowledge during one of the most stressful periods of my life. During mediation, Alana skillfully negotiated a very fair property settlement on my behalf. I truly felt that she had my best interests at heart at every stage.If you’re looking for a lawyer who is both compassionate and a fierce advocate, I can’t recommend Alana Pointon highly enough. You will not regret choosing her.

What's the Difference between Secured and Unsecured Finance Disputes?

Finance litigation can be a complex and daunting legal arena to navigate.

Whether you’re a lender or a borrower, disputes over financial matters can affect your financial stability and future.

Secured or unsecured business loans each come with their own set of complexities and considerations.

For example, an investment firm covers legal costs in personal injury cases until a settlement is reached.

If the plaintiff wins, they repay a portion of the settlement; if not, they owe nothing.

Each type of litigation hinges on whether collateral secures the debt or not.

Secured Finance Litigation

Foreclosure

Foreclosure happens when a borrower can't pay their mortgage. The lender takes the property and sells it to pay off the debt.

Repossession

Where a borrower has collateral that was pledged to secure the loans, lenders can repossess the collateral if the borrower fails to make agreed-upon payments.

Default

This occurs when a borrower fails to make a loan payment on time. In the event of default, the lender may repossess the collateral that was pledged to secure the loan.

Successfully navigating secured finance litigation necessitates a deep understanding of property and contract laws.

UnSecured Finance Litigation

FRAUD

This can occur if a borrower makes false statements or misrepresentations to a lender in order to obtain a loan.
If the lender discovers the fraud, the lender may sue the borrower for fraud and seek to rescind the loan agreement.

NEGLIGENCE

This can occur if a lender fails to act in a reasonable manner when making a loan.
For example, if a lender does not properly verify the borrower's income or assets, the lender may be liable for negligence if the borrower defaults on the loan.

Breach of Contract

This can occur when a borrower fails to repay a loan according to the terms of the loan agreement.

The lender may then sue the borrower for breach of contract.

In unsecured business loans, the financial risk is more significant. 

Seeking expert guidance in such cases can significantly protect your rights and interests.
