Overview

Adam represents clients in commercial financing transactions, communicating with them every step of the way.

After beginning his legal career in mergers and acquisitions, Adam shifted to an exclusive focus on financing work with the firm’s Banking & Finance team at the end of 2019. He represents both lenders and borrowers in lending work that is largely secured by commercial or industrial real estate, and he supports real estate developer clients from start to finish on each transaction. Adam’s projects are primarily vertical construction, with occasional real property acquisitions, and he works with commercial and industrial lines of credit and working liens of capital as well. Most of his transactions are in the $20-50M range, and he has experience financing the development of multifamily residences, industrial spaces, retail properties, and medical facilities.

Adam is enthusiastic about working in a highly collaborative practice area: he loves helping clients achieve the lending or financing goals that will lead to larger business accomplishments, and he thrives on working across the table to find solutions that satisfy all parties. He also enjoys the unique challenges of each deal: while ninety percent of a transaction may be the same as all the others, Adam finds that the additional ten percent is always specific to each client and project, and he loves helping clients navigate the deal’s individual circumstances to find customized solutions.

A highly communicative professional, Adam is known for keeping clients in the loop at all times and ensuring that a deal stays on track. He’s especially valuable in the hectic days leading up to closing: Adam has a gift for making order out of the closing chaos and getting everyone to the table so that deals finish on time.
