Real Estate Finance

With a deep understanding of capital structures and market dynamics, Vedder advises clients on a wide range of financing and syndication matters across the real estate and broader commercial landscape. The team is trusted by borrowers, lenders, and investors to structure, negotiate, and document transactions that align with business objectives while addressing risk, timing, and regulatory considerations.

The practice regularly works with debt funds, banks, insurance companies, credit companies, private lenders, and other investment sources on acquisition, construction, and permanent financings. Matters include syndicated credit facilities and participations, intercreditor and subordination arrangements, mezzanine and leveraged financings, and transactions supported by tax increment financing and other government-aided mechanisms. The team is adept at navigating complex capital stacks and coordinating among multiple stakeholders to keep transactions moving efficiently.

Clients also rely on the team in challenging situations, regularly handling loan workouts, restructurings, and negotiations, including deed-in-lieu arrangements, foreclosure matters, insolvency proceedings, and debtor-in-possession financings. Across both routine and distressed transactions, the focus remains consistent: provide clear, commercially grounded advice that preserves value, manages risk, and supports long-term financial and operational goals.
