Real Estate Investment & Finance

Investment Strategists

Providing the full range of real estate investment services, V&E’s Real Estate Investment & Finance lawyers structure, negotiate, document, and close real estate acquisitions, investments, sales, and loan arrangements across the United States. We have experience with every class of commercial real estate, including retail, office, industrial, multifamily, hotel, and mixed-use properties.

We also advise on strategic investments, portfolio management, financing and refinancing of real estate investments, and distressed loans. V&E lawyers represent institutional and entrepreneurial lenders and investors, including real estate funds, REITs, joint ventures, and property owners. We also counsel developers with building and managing their property portfolios, addressing intercreditor issues, and assisting with asset evaluation, environmental due diligence, and compliance concerns.

Finance Advice

We advise lenders, borrowers, and investors on all aspects of finance—from loan origination, capital deployment, and loan administration through refinancings, troubled loan workouts, and loan payoffs. The V&E team handles multi-property, multi-state, and multiparty financings, construction loans, and a full range of creative debt structuring and financing arrangements, including structured financings, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) transactions, syndicated credit facilities, permanent loans, and mezzanine loans. Our lawyers know the product types and leading market terms, and deftly employ innovative structuring techniques to meet lender, investor, and borrower needs. Further, we work to optimize lender investment returns and secure their investments, while maximizing loan flexibility, and minimizing finance costs for borrowers and tax implications for investors.
