## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Banking & Finance (Lending, Securities, Project Finance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/banking-and-finance.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Index the default clauses, the collateral and the notices already sent. Do not write the enforcement advice or a demand. |
| What the lawyer must review | You write the advice. After default, U.C.C. § 9-610 lets a secured party sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of collateral, and every aspect of the disposition must be commercially reasonable. The secured party may buy at a public disposition, and at a private disposition only in the cases § 9-610(c) allows. Real-property foreclosure is state law and is not Article 9. Read the security, the credit agreement and the state’s enactment before you tell the client which path is open. |
