Our work for these clients includes construction and permanent loans, loan participations, mortgage warehousing and revolving credit transactions, mortgage loan restructuring, work-outs, foreclosures, synthetic leases and multi-property sale and leaseback transactions.

We also regularly counsel clients on the operation and disposition of OREO assets.
