Career

Dan serves as co-chair of Seyfarth’s Real Estate Finance practice. He represents members of the lending and borrowing communities across all aspects of commercial real estate finance, from loan originations and loan sales, to workouts and restructurings. His work emphasizes the structuring and closing of mortgage and mezzanine loan transactions, including capital markets, interim/bridge, construction, and balance sheet loans, across the United States.

During the course of his career, Dan has handled a wide range of transactions—from small conduit deals to billion dollar credit facilities with several tranches of financing and preferred equity. He has worked on numerous financings of major office buildings, hospitality properties, retail and industrial centers, and multifamily properties, and is familiar with lender and owner concerns relating thereto.

Dan has also helped several clients establish lending programs and procedures, and drafted form loan documents in connection therewith.

Dan enjoys working with clients and members of the Seyfarth Technology Innovations group in applying technology to gain greater speed and greater efficiencies in performing legal work, and has successfully developed several technology solutions for clients. For large-volume clients, he applies Seyfarth Lean best practices and process maps, as well as Seyfarth Link web-based tracking and deal updates. Dan also uses form processing technology to streamline document drafting for lender clients, and was instrumental in the development of the firm’s Atlanta-based due diligence hub whereby diligence review services are quickly and efficiently provided by a dedicated team of attorneys and paralegals spread throughout the country.
