SSL regularly structures and documents the workout of loans, leases, and partnership relationships that are at risk or underperforming their existing terms. Our attorneys have handled numerous loan and lease workouts on behalf of lenders and borrowers, landlords and tenants, and joint venture partners, giving us insight into the priorities and pressure points on every side of a distressed transaction. We also frequently advise creditors, including landlords, lenders, and equity investors, on protecting their rights and interests in the face of threatened or declared bankruptcy by tenants, borrowers, or other debtors, and we counsel investors seeking to capitalize on distressed real estate opportunities through loan or asset acquisitions.

Our broad experience across real property transactions, finance, and asset types gives us the insight needed to restructure loans, leases, and partnership arrangements in a manner that protects our clients’ assets and investments to the greatest extent possible. We are skilled at accessing each party’s rights, remedies, and objectives, and at implementing creative, effective restructuring solutions designed to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation or bankruptcy proceedings wherever possible. When disputes cannot be resolved consensually, we work seamlessly with our litigation colleagues to protect our clients’ interests in bankruptcy court and beyond.
