Stearn's Weaver Miller's Commercial Real Estate Lending Practice Group represents commercial and investment banks, insurance companies and other institutional lenders in connection with both the extension and collection of credit. We have decades of experience in financing the acquisition, development and construction of office buildings, shopping centers, mixed-use projects, hotels, condominium projects and single and multi-family residential projects, employing advanced lending techniques and negotiating financing documents and the workout of troubled assets.

We represent lenders who make conventional, participated, syndicated or mezzanine loans secured by real property, as well as tangible and intangible personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, transferrable development rights, accounts and intellectual property located in and outside of the State of Florida. The Firm also advises lenders with respect to personal property leasing and financing. We work closely with our litigation and bankruptcy attorneys to advise and assist lenders in dispute avoidance, the workout of troubled assets, and litigation relating thereto and relating to lenders' potential liability for their actions originating and administering loans, or as a consequence of environmental laws and regulations.
