Real Estate Finance

Our lawyers have a great deal of experience in real estate financing and securitization, and have represented lenders and borrowers on a variety of real estate transactions. Our experience in this area includes advising on complex high profile residential and commercial real estate mortgage finance transactions and securitization. 

Over the years, the firm has evolved with the changes in the real estate sector and created a reputation as the leading advisors in structuring complex local and cross-border real estate finance transactions, management of large loan deals, securitization, complex acquisitions and transactions structuring. 

Our global real estate finance team has a proven track record of advising both lenders and borrowers in finance transactions throughout the real estate industry. Clients know they can rely on us at all stages of their real estate transactions, from the term sheet and structuring stage, through closing, tranching, syndication and securitization, administration, servicing and, if required, restructuring. 

In recent years investors and lenders have increasingly combined traditional financing tools and created alternative finance structures, and we have developed a broad approach to meet the changing needs of the market.

Experience has included advising:

  • Oando Plc/Vitol/Helios on a USD461 million joint venture and divestment transaction
  • On the structured and project financing package for development of a commercial retail property development (Retail Mall) valued at USD150 million.
  • The project sponsors/borrower in the USD170 million Oando/RMB structured financing for the development of commercial real property.
