The real estate finance practice at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner handles a broad spectrum of mandates, covering acquisitions, dispositions, and financings of all standard real estate asset types. Vanessa Sunshine leads the team from California and has a strong background in the acquisition, disposition and financing of assets, with a niche in senior living facilities and golf courses. More broadly, the team handles debt-related matters such as mortgage loans, construction loans, and CMBS loans. In New York, William Campbell focuses on commercial real estate transactions while Eugene Balshem leads on lending transactions, including the origination, purchase, sale, and securitization of senior and subordinate mortgage and mezzanine loans. Distressed real estate expert Varuna Bhattacharyya in New York, and Justin Steinmark and Margot Wainger who are both based in Miami are all key to the practice.
