Lenders relying on inventory collateral located in warehouses have long relied on the warehouses waiving their liens in favor of the lenders. In recent years, warehouses have become more aware of their rights and have pushed back on lien waivers and have, instead, entered into access agreements that are more acceptable to the interests of the warehouses. Lisa Kresge, Jeff Wurst, Paul Shur, and Massimo Giugliano will battle out the rights and obligations of warehouses and lenders focusing on and balancing the interests of warehouses under Article 7 of the UCC against the needs of lenders in protecting their security interests under Article 9. They will examine compromises attained in warehouse access agreements as well as present some insights based on case law. PLEASE NOTE: This program will now be hybrid. We look forward to engaging with you in person.
