At my old biglaw firm, these would be a battle.

Now at my boutique, we basically just give the lender whatever they reasonably request....knowing that the odds they are ever enforced is basically zero and our clients prefer we spend their money on more important things.

No shit the client doesn't care if the law firm's opinion is shit because it is the firm's ass/reputation on the line if the opinion is wrong.

There's no reason to give opinion letters unless it's some huge deal and they are paying you a ton.

Opinion committees ime are always comprised of two or three rainmakers who have no idea what theyre signing (except the tax weirdo) and are never there to sign it

We have reviewed all the stuff. If the data is accurate and the agreement terms are as presented by the issuer and the financial statements are accurate then we think your okay. But we cant say anything about any of thoee thongs because they are all someone else's responsibility. Xoxohth!
