Our extensive experience in the origination, sale and purchase of mezzanine loan financings, in many cases with numerous tranches of mezzanine loans and complicated intercreditor arrangements amongthe mortgage lender and various mezzanine lenders, means that we are uniquely qualified to analyze and evaluate the rights and remedies, and related risks, facing mezzanine lenders. Cadwalader has been at the forefront of revising and redefining these intercreditor arrangements as various new transactions have come to market. Our attorneys regularly represent investment funds and financial institutions in the workout and enforcement of troubled mezzanine loans.
