Polsinelli has over 200 Real Estate lawyers from coast to coast servicing the industry on a daily basis. The firm has used that scale to maintain a balance between “debt” and “dirt” that is rare in large law firms. We believe few other firms have as balanced a penetration into both the financial institutions that fund the real estate market, as well as to the developers, owners and investors that drive it. Additionally, given our firm’s focus on the health care industry and middle market corporate clients, we are a leading provider of real estate services and real estate financing to institutions and corporations seeking to manage their real estate assets as part of M&A activity. Polsinelli’s Real Estate Finance practice has documented and closed more than 7,500 commercial mortgage, construction, mezzanine, bridge, and preferred equity financings, with a $80+ billion principal amount, covering all 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The Structured Finance practice has represented clients in more than 1500 CMBS securitization transactions, including 130+ CMBS transactions involving the securitization of more than $99.5 billion in commercial real estate loans over the last year.
