A consummate professional for complex commercial transactions

Our company recently engaged in a complex commercial real estate acquisition in the New Orleans area, which involved intricate financing and title considerations. We were fortunate to have Susan Tyler of Jones Walker guide us through the entire process. With over three decades of experience, her deep knowledge of commercial lending and real estate development was immediately evident. She anticipated issues we hadn't considered, particularly around the equipment financing component, and navigated them with precision. Her recent recognition in Banking and Finance Law is well-deserved. Susan is not only exceptionally sharp and detail-oriented but also communicates clearly, making complex legal concepts understandable. The transaction closed smoothly and on schedule, largely due to her diligent and strategic counsel. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any significant commercial matter.
