We regularly represent individual lenders, syndicates and other market participants in all types of real estate finance transactions. These transactions include investment property funding, construction funding, and predevelopment commitment funding. As part of these deals we are often involved in structuring the relevant financing arrangements (including creating synthetic leases, participating, convertible and other "equity kicker" loans, "credit-enhanced" revenue bond financings and multi-tranched/layered debt arrangements).

Our practice covers origination of real estate finance transactions as well as the subsequent distribution (whether by way of syndication, securitization or otherwise) of these transactions.

We believe that our expertise in advising lenders and investors on real estate finance transactions is significantly enhanced by the expertise we have derived from our regular representation of some of the most significant real estate developers, institutional advisors and investors and lessors.

In addition, our firm has become a leader in representing clients dealing with troubled real estate financing arrangements. Our real estate lawyers work closely with our workout, bankruptcy and business reorganization practice group and our litigators who specialize in foreclosures, general creditors' remedies and bankruptcy litigation to bring an extra dimension of expertise to our clientele.
