Cadwalader once again sits atop the midyear commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) tables published by Commercial Mortgage Alert. With as much humility as we can muster, we are proud to say that the firm is ranked No. 1 as both “Issuer Counsel” and “Underwriter Counsel” through June 30. We have been ranked first in the issuer counsel category for 19 consecutive years.

Commercial Mortgage Alert notes that Cadwalader advised issuers on 38 of the 66 U.S. offerings floated in the first half of 2019, representing 58 percent of such representations. On the underwriter side, we advised on 29 CMBS transactions, or 44 percent of the available assignments.
