Real Estate Finance & Restructuring

In dynamic credit environments, access to the right financing solutions is essential for real estate success. At One Legal Square, our Real Estate Finance & Restructuring team provides expert, commercially focused guidance to help clients navigate the full range of financing structures and opportunities whether in stable markets or challenging conditions.

With extensive experience across economic cycles, our lawyers understand the complexities of existing and proposed capital structures, as well as the differing motivations of all parties involved. We act for a broad range of clients, including funds, borrowers, operators, developers, purchasers, sellers, sponsors, investors, institutional advisers, investment managers, and lenders (including Pfandbrief-style banks and real estate debt funds).

We advise on a wide range of real estate finance and restructuring transactions across all asset classes, including:

• Mortgage and mezzanine financings
• Credit facilities, including subscription-secured and NAV facilities
• Construction financings
• Participated, syndicated, and securitised debt
• Agency financings
• Preferred equity transactions
• Sales and acquisitions of performing and non-performing loans
• Participation agreements, co-lender arrangements, and intercreditor agreements
• Distressed real estate
• Workouts, restructurings, and enforcement actions, including deeds in lieu, UCC foreclosures, and short sales

We draw on the firm’s multidisciplinary expertise — including Real Estate Tax, Pensions & Executive Compensation, Securities Litigation, Design & Construction, Leasing, Joint Ventures, Financial Restructuring, and Litigation — to structure financing arrangements that precisely meet our clients’ commercial and strategic goals.
