Our Experience

Bank Successfully Forecloses on Loan Mortgages

Mintz represented Anglo Irish Bank in a successful New York County Supreme Court action to foreclose $165 million in construction loan mortgages. The judge authorized a receiver to complete construction of the building and charge the financing of the bank to the mortgager.

Mintz & John Hancock Financial Network, Inc.

Mintz represented John Hancock Financial Network in its acquisition of certain assets of Transamerica Financial Advisors Inc. The deal grew assets under John Hancock’s broker-dealer to nearly $50 billion.

Eurobond Holders Obtain Arbitration Award

Mintz secured an arbitration award of more than $140 million for bank and insurance bondholders following a Eurobond default. The matter against the British Virgin Islander bond issuer, the Egyptian guarantor companies, and two individual owners was found to involve fraud and misappropriations of assets.
