The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) has made changes to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which governs secured transactions and how security interests may be obtained in personal property in order to secure a debt. The changes in the article affect secured parties' filing, searching and due diligence practice.

Hundreds of millions of dollars of commercial and consumer credit are granted every year in secured transactions under UCC Article 9. Changes to filing rules mean financing statements in progress need to be changed in order to avoid filing amendments. Are you prepared?
