Seyfarth Shaw LLP receives high praise for its real estate finance team which represents institutional lenders, including several of the nation’s top insurance company mortgage originators and commercial loan servicers. The team handles a broad range of transactions from CMBS and CLO financings to healthcare finance and mezzanine structures. Leading the team is Daniel Evans in New York and Jay Wardlaw in Atlanta. Evans focuses on mortgage and mezzanine loan transactions while Wardlaw centers his practice on cross-country loans, including permanent mortgage, bridge, and construction loans. The group maintains dedicated specialty areas in different sectors such as healthcare real estate finance, headed up by Robin Freeman in San Francisco as well as distressed situations. In Charlotte, Katie Schwarting is a go-to for special servicing. The practice’s restructuring capabilities are further bolstered by Sadia Ghazi as well as restructuring expert Jason DeJonker and structured finance specialist Rick White. The team has also been bolstered by the addition of John Domby’s Charlotte-based originations practice in June 2024.
