Real estate finance is a core component of our real estate practice, supporting both routine loan transactionsand the financing structures underlying complex development projects. We represent lenders, borrowers, and investors across the full range of secured lending transactions, including conventional mortgage loans, multiproperty and portfolio financings, development and construction loans, syndicated loans, loans originated for securitization, mezzanine and preferred equity financing, repurchase and other leveraged finance facilities, and structured or “hybrid” products such as participanting and convertible mortgage loans, credit lease and credit-enhanced financings, and land banking transactions.

When market conditions shift, our experience extends to the workout side of finance as well. We regularly advise lenders and borrowers through loan modifications, forbearance agreements, foreclosures, deeds-inlieu, and other distressed debt resolutions, and we routinely partner with our litigation and bankruptcy colleagues to protect our clients’ interests when a transaction moves outside the ordinary course. This combination of origination and workout experience allows us to advise clients with a full understanding of how a loan’s structure and documentation will perform if a deal does not go as planned.
