The Business Practice Group at Wisler Pearlstine has recently negotiated, documented and closed numerous transactions involving the sale and purchase of defaulted commercial mortgage loans, from financial institutions to private purchasers. These types of complex transactions are becoming more common as banks are compelled to disgorge “toxic assets.” This structure presents potential benefits for both the financial institution and the private purchaser – it provides the financial institution with cost-effective means of removing non-performing assets from their balance sheets, and it provides the private purchaser with the ability to acquire rights to the loan collateral at a discount.

The transactions require that the parties consider federal banking regulations, state and local permits and approvals, title issues, transfer tax implications, and debtor / creditor issues. Because of the breadth of experience and the sharing of expertise among Wisler Pearlstine’s attorneys and practice groups, the Firm has been able to complete these transactions in a cost-effective and timely manner. Our clients have ready access to experienced business, banking, land use and tax attorneys, so that they can obtain the comfort level and expertise necessary to enter into and successfully complete these complex business arrangements.
