Real Estate & Fund Finance
Major national and international lenders, developers, and institutional investors rely on our team for sophisticated real estate finance solutions. Combining deep expertise across capital markets and property transactions, we structure deals that meet the evolving needs of lenders, borrowers, and equity partners in competitive markets.
Our real estate finance team counsels sophisticated lenders and borrowers, typically working alongside institutional investors and sponsors. Our experience spans traditional bank-led syndications to innovative structured finance arrangements and hybrid capital structures. Clients rely on our firsthand experience to structure and close acquisition loans, construction loans, corporate-level portfolio financing to real estate funds, REIT financings, convertible debt facilities, mezzanine financing, mortgage warehouse lending, and multifaceted refinancings across domestic and international markets. We also advise on optimal structuring of joint ventures, REITs, and real estate investment funds seeking regular access to capital markets.
Across diverse property types – from individual assets to large portfolios – we advise clients on every aspect of real estate finance – from initial structuring and documentation to ongoing amendments, refinancings, and workout scenarios. We leverage our comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and industry trends to optimize capital structures while managing the complexities of syndicated and private credit markets. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates critical considerations across bankruptcy, environmental, ERISA, insurance, and tax, enabling us to identify and resolve potential obstacles before they become deal-breaking issues. Clients value our business-minded approach to financing challenges and our track record for delivering innovative solutions in high-stakes transactions.
Our team includes numerous lawyers who are members of the peer-selected American College of Real Estate Lawyers, and we actively participate in key industry associations, including the Real Estate Finance Association, NAIOP, ICSC, and AFIRE.
