Expert guidance on a complex commercial loan restructuring

Our small manufacturing business in Portland faced a critical juncture when our primary lender initiated a restructuring of our long-term commercial loan under challenging new terms. We engaged Susan Alterman at Kell, Alterman & Runstein based on her specific recognition in Banking and Finance Law. Her deep understanding of the nuances in loan covenants and lender obligations was immediately apparent. She leveraged her five years of focused experience in this area to not only dissect the proposed agreement but to proactively negotiate several key protections that significantly improved our financial flexibility. Her background, including her recent Lawyer of the Year acknowledgment for 2026, clearly informed her strategic approach, giving us immense confidence. The process was thorough, and her explanations of complex financial legalities were remarkably clear. Our only slight critique would be that during the busiest periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, though her paralegal was always helpful in bridging the gap. Ultimately, Susan secured a restructured loan that positions our company for stable growth. We are deeply grateful for her skilled representation and would not hesitate to recommend her for any business-related finance or real estate legal matter.
