Law Firm Forms Subprime Lending Team

Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll LLP, a Philadelphia-based law firm, has announced the formation of a multidisciplinary Subprime Lending Team. The group will provide legal support to clients regarding the litigation, government action, and business problems sparked by the subprime mortgage crisis, the law firm said. "As the subprime crisis grows, it's clear that the effects will be felt across several disciplines and throughout the country," said Henry E. Hockeimer Jr., a partner in Ballard's litigation department and a member of the subprime team. "The specific legal disciplines affected happen to be areas of real strength for Ballard: consumer finance, real estate, securities, commercial litigation, and white collar are all areas where the firm has great depth and experience."
