PURCHASE AND SALE
Having helped clients with thousands of real estate purchases, sales and development projects throughout the United States and internationally, JMBM's real estate lawyers have the experience necessary to help structure and negotiate the best deal, then quickly document and close the transaction. Our interdisciplinary strengths allows us to handle related due diligence including ADA, corporate and tax issues, financing, land use and zoning, environmental, labor, and intellectual property, as well as litigation and matters involving distressed assets, such as bankruptcy, receivership and workouts. We represent clients in the purchase and sale of assets and loans, including portfolios, both performing and non-performing. We represent clients in the opportunistic purchases of distressed properties and debt, and note acquisitions.
LOAN NEGOTIATION AND DOCUMENTATION
JMBM's real estate lawyers advise owners, lenders, funds and investors on financing strategies. We can negotiate and document the full range of loans including construction loans, permanent loans, acquisition loans, working capital revolving loans, and other real estate secured loans. We can facilitate the financing of any development project using conventional lending sources, mezzanine financing, conduit and securitized financing, debtor-in-possession financings and related roll-ups. We evaluate and structure financing alternatives, develop and analyze lease versus ownership advantages, identify tax and economic incentives and assure that transactions comply with regulatory requirements. Our experience includes handling tri-party agreements, participant and syndication agreements, inter-creditor issues, contingent interest and shared appreciation loans. We anticipate and resolve issues dealing with title, deed, environment and other problems that typically arise.
