Expert Real Estate Finance Counsel for a Complex Hotel Acquisition

Our company recently engaged Derek Roth to advise on the financing and acquisition of a boutique hotel portfolio in Southern California. With nearly three decades of experience, his deep knowledge of real estate finance law was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the complexities of the loan syndication and the nuanced due diligence specific to hospitality assets, a clear reflection of his dual focus in real estate and the hospitality & leisure sector. His recognition in real estate law, particularly finance, is well-deserved. Derek and his team at Paul Hastings were strategic partners, anticipating lender concerns and structuring the deal to protect our interests. The process was thorough, and his calm, seasoned guidance provided immense confidence during negotiations. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in receiving draft revisions during peak periods; communication was always professional but sometimes took a day longer than expected. That minor point aside, Derek’s value was exceptional. For high-stakes, sophisticated real estate transactions, especially those involving complex financing structures, I would not hesitate to recommend him. He is a true expert in his field.
