An Expert Guide Through Complex Commercial Real Estate Finance

When our company needed to secure a complex, multi-property acquisition loan with several institutional lenders, the stakes were incredibly high. We were referred to Matthew Breuer at Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow, and it was the best decision we could have made. Matthew’s deep specialization in real estate finance was immediately apparent. He didn't just review documents; he explained the nuanced implications of each term, from recourse carve-outs to intercreditor agreements, with a clarity that was invaluable. His nearly three decades of experience, particularly his work representing national and regional banks, meant he anticipated lender concerns we hadn't even considered and structured our position accordingly. The transaction closed smoothly and on time, with terms more favorable than we initially hoped. It’s no surprise to see his ‘Lawyer of the Year’ recognitions in both Real Estate and Banking & Finance Law. Matthew is more than an attorney; he’s a strategic partner who combines profound expertise with a practical, client-focused approach. For any significant commercial real estate or finance matter in Jacksonville, he is absolutely the first call to make.
