Practice Area

Commercial Real Estate Bridge Lending

We represent non-bank lenders and lending platforms that make short-term, transitional loans on commercial real estate, from the term sheet through payoff or enforcement.

What we handle

Term sheets, commitment letters and loan applications
Loan agreements, guaranties, and mortgage and pledge documents
Participation agreements and co-lending arrangements
Intercreditor and subordination agreements with senior and mezzanine lenders
Loan sales, assignments and portfolio transfers
Extensions, modifications and payoffs
Closing coordination: title, survey, zoning, insurance and local counsel

Our approach

Because the firm also handles enforcement, loan documents are drafted with the default scenario in mind: clear participation mechanics, guaranties that can be enforced, and remedies that hold up when they are tested.
