Sheppard advises lenders, special servicers and investors nationwide on all aspects of distressed commercial real estate, including loan enforcement and related opportunities. 

We draw on deep industry knowledge and practical strategies to help maximize recovery and reduce risk in troubled loan situations.

End-to-End Counsel from Workout to Enforcement

We deliver end-to-end counsel, combining workout experience, enforcement strength and real-time market insight to resolve even the most challenging distressed loan scenarios.

Our process begins with negotiating and documenting practical out-of-court solutions, including pre-negotiation agreements, forbearances and loan modifications. Where settlement is feasible, we structure agreements that safeguard relationships and asset value. Should matters escalate, our seasoned litigators transition seamlessly to enforcement. 

We handle judicial and non-judicial foreclosures, receiverships, guarantor litigation and other remedies across asset classes, including high-value real estate, hospitality, healthcare and commercial properties. We are frequently engaged by major banks, institutional investors, private credit funds and CMBS special servicers and are adept at cross-border workouts through a network of trusted local relationships.
