Bio

For over 25 years, Mike has represented lenders, owners, developers, investors and the holders of other real estate interests in a wide variety of transactions throughout the United States.

While Mike has a broad and diverse real estate practice, he has developed a particular expertise in the area of real estate finance.  He has represented institutional lenders in dozens of sophisticated financing transactions.  To mention just one, Mike acted as lead counsel in a nine-figure financing involving nearly 200 separate parcels of real estate located in 16 states.  He also frequently represents agents and participants in syndicated financing transactions.  In addition to lender representation, Mike regularly represents owners and developers in connection with the financing of their real estate projects.  This has included representing one of the country's largest developers of apartment communities in over $2 billion of financings.

Mike's financing expertise extends into the area of credit workouts.  Dating back to the mid-1980's, he has extensive experience in restructuring troubled real estate and commercial credit facilities, and in advising both lenders and borrowers in connection with foreclosures, receiverships and other remedial actions.

In addition to his client work, Mike has served as the Firm's Managing Director since 1998.
