Loan Portfolios

Hirschler real estate and business attorneys represent clients in the sale, acquisition and servicing (including collection litigation) of commercial loan portfolios.  Hirschler’s principal loan portfolio experience encompasses performing and sub-performing loans secured by commercial real estate and business assets. Over the past 20 years, Hirschler’s portfolio practice has expanded to include complex, alternative credits (often resulting from discontinued business lines or troubled debt restructurings across many diverse asset classes). Hirschler’s expansive portfolio expertise ranges from federal, state and local government economic development loans, to church and nonprofit loans, to aviation, marine and taxi medallion credits, to impact investments (including PACE assessment financing).
