Real Estate Finance and Securitization

As a result of the current real estate debt market crisis, the federal regulatory and legislative environment for financial and capital markets is rapidly changing and evolving.  Recent events involving Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, AIG and the proposed $700 billion mortgage bailout are changing the political landscape with unprecedented speed.  With a depth of experience that comes from dealing with all levels of government agencies, offices and officials, the Washington D.C. practitioners of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP understand how to navigate treacherous political waters and advise clients appropriately.

Not only do we have critical knowledge that will guide you through the political process, but we also have extensive experience representing major public and private companies, commercial and industrial developers, real estate investment trusts, commercial banks, insurance companies, institutional lenders, pension funds, mortgage servicers, investment banks, contractors, domestic and offshore investors, hospitals and governments in a wide range of traditional and innovative real estate-related matters and projects. Our representation of global leaders includes syndicated credit lines for private equity funds and debt securitizations.  The range of real estate matters that we have handled includes taxable and tax-deferred acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets and entities and mortgage-secured debt, financing of real estate and real estate debt acquisitions, and workouts and foreclosures of real estate debt, both in and out of bankruptcy proceedings.

Akin Gump’s real estate and finance practice has been assembled to provide the responsive service, sense of partnership, local presence and market knowledge of a small firm, with the resources, depth and breadth of experience, support and proven track record that only a national law firm can provide.
