A focus on value

A closer and consigliere

Whether as general counsel for structured finance at a leading publicly traded finance company in the commercial real estate industry, as senior vice president for business and legal affairs in the commercial real estate division of a large national mortgage lender, or in private practice, Alec’s internal and external clients look to him as their trusted advisor to close their most complex transactions, advise on negotiation strategies, manage other attorneys and develop training programs. Alec’s clients work with him not only for his business-smart handling of complex and often heavily structured transactions, but also for his judgment and breadth of knowledge and experience.

Alec has almost 40 years of workout experience representing financial institutions, pension funds, thrifts, life companies, REITs and others in workout negotiations, debt modifications and restructurings, deeds-in-lieu or in-aid of foreclosure, foreclosures, bankruptcy plans, development and disposition of REO, and purchases and sales of non-performing loan pools.
