The Commercial and Real Estate Finance Group at Davis Malm has extensive experience in complex and routine commercial lending and real estate finance transactions, including term loans; revolving credit facilities; equipment financing; floor plan financing; and real estate acquisition financing, refinancing, and fee and leasehold construction financing. We also have extensive experience in multistate transactions, inter-creditor issues, agented credits, portfolio management activities and workouts, bankruptcy litigation and liquidation of assets through foreclosure and secured party sales. We have particular expertise in closing and servicing United States Small Business Administration loan transactions, including the Section 7(a) SBA guaranteed loan program and the Section 504 Program for Economic Development.
We regularly represent banks and nonbank lenders in senior, junior or syndicated financing at the local, regional, and national level. In successfully closing thousands of loans, we oversee all aspects of the loan transaction process in order to enhance the lender's ability to meet both the needs of its customers and its internal requirements, particularly with respect to monthly, quarterly and annual targets. We achieve these goals by drawing on our team of attorneys and paralegals, including specialists in the areas of real estate titles, zoning, environmental compliance, banking law, taxation, bankruptcy and corporate law.
We also assist our lenders with the array of legal services necessary to
maximize recovery in default situations. We have the experience and capacity,
working with our litigation and creditors' rights attorneys, to represent
our clients through all types of workouts, restructurings and debtor bankruptcies
efficiently and cost-effectively, maximizing recovery.
