Overview

Parsons’ attorneys Erik A. Christiansen, Alan S. Mouritsen and Alex N. Vandiver secured a significant appellate victory for a longstanding firm client, reinforcing the enforceability of key terms in the client’s lending agreements. The Utah Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s decision, holding that the interest rates charged were conscionable and upholding the Utah forum selection clause. 

The client has faced repeated legal challenges to its lending model in Utah courts. This decision affirms the legitimacy of its business practices and offers meaningful reassurance as it continues operations in the state. As a result of the team’s successful defense, the client has given the highest compliment by graciously referring Parsons to another lender now entering the Utah market.
