A trusted advisor for our commercial real estate financing

Our company recently navigated a complex commercial real estate acquisition that required intricate financing structures. We engaged Scott Schallhorn based on his long-standing reputation in Little Rock and his specific recognition in commercial finance law. With nearly four decades of experience, his guidance was invaluable. He possesses a deep, practical understanding of Arkansas business law and crafted solutions that protected our interests while keeping the transaction moving forward. His calm demeanor and ability to explain dense legal concepts were particularly appreciated. While his expertise is top-tier, communication response times could occasionally be quicker during peak periods. Overall, Scott and the team at Mitchell Williams provided exceptional service. We have great confidence in his counsel and would not hesitate to recommend him for sophisticated commercial or finance matters.
