Varnum's experienced banking group provides loan documentation services to a wide variety of banks, including national and global banks where the typical loan size exceeds $1 million. However, we have also developed cost-efficient ways to provide these services for smaller loans.  We understand and appreciate the need to manage costs for these services and work with our community bank clients to provide these services on a fixed-fee or other "packaged" basis. We also offer training sessions and materials for loan officers so they can learn to handle diligence matters, collateral perfection issues, and other documentation matters without our assistance for routine or smaller loans.

Our attorneys have extensive experience with all types of financing arrangements, including asset-based loans, cash-flow loans, mortgage financing, agricultural loans, SBA and other small business loans, construction loans, and government-guaranteed credits. We regularly negotiate, document, and perfect security interests for all types of collateral and handle all types of credit issues such as creditor participations, intercreditor agreements, loan subordinations, and other credit structures.

Our chapter presents opportunities for individuals to get involved. Chapters rely on the talents of volunteers to stage many of their programs, conduct membership development efforts, and promote the ideals of the Association.
