St. Louis bankruptcy attorney David Lander has kindly agreed to a reprise of his guest blogging stint on Credit Slips for a few days. Lander is with the law firm of Thompson Coburn, LLP, and is well known to many U.S. bankruptcy professors because of his outreach efforts to bridge gaps between the academy and the practicing bar. He is one of the few practicing attorneys who can speak to both sophisticated consumer and bankruptcy issues. He also is an adjunct professor at St. Louis University. Lander said he had some issues involving secured lending (i.e., article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) that he wanted to discuss. Welcome back, David. Thank you taking time out of your busy schedule to share your expertise.
