Economic recovery, high demand, and volatility in the equity markets continue to drive domestic and international capital into U.S. real estate assets. Strong capital influx provides new opportunities and creates fast-paced financing activities that require deep industry understanding and legal expertise.

We also represent owners and developers—nonprofit, for-profit, public, and tribal—seeking to finance either new or redevelopment projects or adjust operational assets to meet their ongoing business needs.
