Drawing on the Firm’s expertise in commercial and real estate finance, litigation, bankruptcy, and corporate and environmental law, Cullen and Dykman LLP has established a Restructuring Group.  This Group has been formed to provide a multi-disciplined approach to representing clients with respect to restructuring problem loans, purchasing or selling of distressed assets and similar matters.  By combining attorneys from the finance, litigation and bankruptcy departments, the Firm ensures that all of the disciplines required for a successful restructuring are readily available to the client.  The Firm’s Restructuring Group is available to assist its clients with all aspects of handling a problem loan or asset, whether it is a restructuring of the loan or credit facility, the exercising of rights and remedies or dealing with a bankruptcy proceeding.

 

The members of the Restructuring Group have extensive experience in dealing with both real estate (commercial and residential) and non-real estate troubled assets.  Drawing on that experience, they are able to review with the client all of the available options and assist the client in developing and executing a practical and effective plan for dealing with the problem credit or asset.

 

Due to the Firm’s representation of numerous real estate lenders, including commercial banks, savings banks and REITs, the Firm has been involved in the restructuring of all types of real estate loans, including commercial mortgage loans, constructions loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments.  This work has ranged from relatively straight forward residential or commercial mortgage loans to very complicated structured real estate financings.

 

By representing numerous commercial lenders, the members of the Restructuring Group have been involved in a wide range of commercial loan restructurings.  The borrower’s involved have ranged from relatively small commercial businesses to large middle market companies and the types of financings involved have ranged from single bank lines of credit to shared credit subject to intercreditor agreements to syndicated credits.

 

Cullen and Dykman’s Restructuring Group combines disciplines and experience to assist the Firm’s clients in implementing the most effective strategy for handling a problem loan or asset.
