Real Estate Finance

We partner with clients to structure, negotiate, and execute sophisticated real estate financing strategies that create long-term value.

When it comes to Reed Smith’s real estate finance services, it’s a true team effort. Our real estate, finance, and corporate lawyers combine their talents to provide innovative and targeted solutions that make the most of our clients’ position.

By leveraging subject matter and jurisdictional knowledge from our structured finance, corporate, regulatory, tax, and restructuring teams, we provide seamless advice on transactions involving private equity, commercial mortgage-backed securities, secondary market investing, and nonperforming loans. 

Our client base is as diverse as our global team, including banks, nonbank lenders, distressed debt buyers, servicers, sponsors, borrowers, and developers. We also cover a robust array of real estate assets, including traditional (office, corporate industrial), hybrid (mixed, public-private partnerships), and next-generation (data centers, wind and solar energy projects). 

Whether it’s representing lenders in floating-rate loan transactions, or advising on tax equity financing for a portfolio of renewable energy projects or on a large-dollar-volume share deal involving a hotel property, Reed Smith has the talented team members and the global reach that have made us a go-to real estate financial services firm.

Our record of helping our clients meet and often exceed their business goals has allowed Reed Smith to establish long-standing relationships and a reputation for outstanding client service. And as practices shift and paradigms change in global real estate finance markets, our team evolves right along with them, meticulously tracking and often anticipating changes that put us on the cutting edge of advisors in this dynamic sector.
