Expert guidance through a complex real estate finance transaction

Our company recently engaged in a complex commercial real estate transaction that involved intricate financing structures. We were referred to Doug Earthman at Glankler Brown, and it was the best decision we could have made. Doug’s deep, 17-year expertise in Securitization and Structured Finance Law was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the nuances of the deal, from the initial structuring phases through to the final negotiations, ensuring every potential risk was mitigated. His recognition in this specific field, including his Lawyer of the Year honors, is clearly well-deserved. Doug was not only a brilliant legal strategist but also a pragmatic advisor who explained complex terms in plain English. His professionalism and steady hand were invaluable, leading to a seamless and successful closing. We have immense confidence in his counsel and will absolutely turn to him for future matters.
