Real Estate Private Equity

Our Real Estate Private Equity (REPE) practice represents private equity funds, investment managers, and institutional investors in the structuring and execution of real estate investment strategies. Distinct from sponsor and developer representation, our REPE practice is capital-side and strategy-driven, with a focus on fund operations, investment discipline, and risk management.

We advise real estate private equity firms on fund formation, investment structuring, portfolio strategy, and regulatory considerations, drawing on deep experience in private equity transactions and capital markets. Our approach is informed by prior experience in Wall Street broker-dealer and private equity environments, enabling us to align legal analysis with institutional investment standards and commercial realities.

Our REPE experience includes:

• Formation of real estate private equity funds and investment vehicles
• Investment strategy counseling, including core, value-add, opportunistic, and distressed asset strategies
• Legal due diligence for acquisitions and recapitalizations, including attorney due diligence reports for investment committees
• Structuring equity investments, preferred equity, and co-investments
• Analysis of distressed assets, non-performing loans, workouts, and restructuring transactions
• Securities law and regulatory considerations for private offerings and fund operations

Distressed Asset Strategies

We advise real estate private equity funds, investment platforms, and distressed asset project companies on investments involving distressed or underperforming assets, including non-performing loans, discounted debt acquisitions, recapitalizations, restructurings, and workouts. We provide fund-level and asset-level legal analysis, diligence, and structuring advice tailored to complex, time-sensitive situations and aligned with client investment objectives.

Whether advising fund managers or institutional investors, we deliver practical, commercially grounded counsel designed to support efficient execution and long-term investment goals.
