Brian Forbes has established himself as counsel of choice for lenders across the country who need clarity, timeliness, and conclusiveness in complex lending, real estate financing, and structured finance transactions.
With equal measures of precision and creativity, Brian has documented and facilitated countless deals, keeping his clients insulated from needless risks and maximizing the benefits of sophisticated credit facilities.
Trusted by lenders and other clients who know he will get them to closing efficiently, cost-effectively, and with few distractions or disruptions, Brian leverages his extensive experience and business mindset to craft tailored approaches in a wide range of large lending transactions.
He drafts loan participation agreements, partnership and limited liability company agreements, private placement memorandums, tenant-in-common agreements, and real estate securitization agreements, including Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits.
“Much of my work involves eliminating worry for my clients. They don't worry whether I will get a transaction done on time and on budget, they don't worry about post-closing complications or uncertainty, and they don't worry about not having reliable information and guidance.”
