Real Estate Finance

Comprehensive Real Estate Finance Counsel

Sheppard provides comprehensive, relationship-driven counsel for complex real estate finance transactions across all asset classes and capital structures.

Our full-service national platform provides clients with the depth and insight to execute sophisticated financings.

Experienced Advisors Across Property Types and Structures

Sheppard represents banks, debt funds, private credit lenders, life insurance companies and private equity sponsors in real estate finance transactions nationwide.

Our team handles construction, bridge, permanent, mezzanine and loan-on-loan financings. We also manage preferred equity investments, warehouse facilities and portfolio recapitalizations. We regularly advise on syndicated loans and multi-layered capital stacks that require coordination among co-lenders, investors and servicers. 

Our scope sets us apart. We manage the full life cycle of a loan: from origination to leveraging, asset management, securitization and when necessary, enforcement or restructuring. Few firms can match our combination of transactional, workout and litigation strength. We structure financings for long-term flexibility, protect collateral and preserve options if market conditions shift.
