Our family-owned manufacturing business in Madison faced a critical juncture when our primary lender was acquired, forcing a complex loan restructuring under unfavorable terms. We were referred to Norm Farnam at Stroud, Willink & Howard. With over 25 years of experience, his deep focus on lender representation was immediately evident. Norm meticulously reviewed our original loan documents and the new, convoluted proposals. He didn't just react; he strategized, leveraging his understanding of the entire lending lifecycle from origination onward. His calm, methodical approach turned a stressful negotiation into a manageable process. We secured renewed terms that protected our assets and cash flow, allowing us to plan for growth. Norm’s professionalism and substantive expertise, clearly recognized by his multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' awards in real estate litigation, were invaluable. He is a tremendous asset for any Wisconsin business navigating financial agreements.
