Paul Hastings LLP excels across a number of sectors but stands out for retail financing by virtue of the head of the New York-based practice Rick Allendorf’s extensive expertise in the area. Specializing in debt finance, Allendorf takes the lead at advising on the firm’s most prominent recent deals, including all of Morgan Stanley’s loans to Brookfield Properties in 2024. The team has deep experience in secured financings, routinely originating loans for securitization and restructuring secured debt. A mainstay of Lisa Chaney ‘s practice is advising major banks on the acquisition, restructuring, and modification of domestic mortgage loan warehouse facilities. Real estate finance specialist David Broderick, who joined from McDermott Will & Emery LLP in 2024, has a strong track record on mortgage, bridge, and mezzanine financings and is a key contact for Apollo Global Management. Michael Berman is a go-to for private equity firms and hedge funds, working on both debt and equity representations in connection with the full breadth of asset classes. Eric Schwitzer is an expert in fund finance matters and advises on domestic and international matters, namely cross-border investment platforms. Another key contact is Jason Stratmoen who concentrates on commercial real estate. John Cahill departed in 2024.
