Overview

Why you should attend

This seminar will explore commercial real estate financing issues in a market that continues to improve - in some cases very dramatically. We will focus on the use of multiple lenders and creative deal structures. We have also seen nontraditional lenders such as hedge funds enter the market, providing equity-flavored (and priced) financing through joint venture vehicles, which will be a focus of this year’s seminar. We will again look at CMBS 2.0 and try to understand whether there is such a thing and, if so, what it is. This year’s seminar will target commercial real estate finance lawyers with at least ten years of experience.

A faculty of seasoned practitioners will help you understand old principles that are new again, beef up your knowledge of how to structure and close real estate loans, and revisit legal principles for troubled loans that date back to law school or the last downturn. The speakers will offer some predictions about how commercial real estate financing might look in the next cycle, and problems to watch out for in today’s transactions.
