Michael Ryan

Partner & Chair, Distressed Real Estate Solutions Group

Mike Ryan is a partner who practices in the areas of real estate transactions, development and finance; banking and financial services; and public finance.
In the area of real estate transactions, Mike has represented investors, operators, landlords, tenants, and lenders in the acquisition and financing of all kinds of asset classes including big box retail, shopping centers, office, industrial, residential (multi family and single family sites), condominiums (residential and office), hotels, ski villages, golf courses, and other portfolios.

As a lender’s counsel, Mike typically works on closing large dollar loans with complicated structure and collateral packages. More recently, with the economic downturn, Mike has represented lenders and investors in restructuring loans, in complicated loan workouts and in selling and buying of loans. When a distressed asset becomes REO or investor owned, land use entitlements, Community Development District assessments, and homeowner/property owner/condominium association issues can be especially complicated issues, and Mike regularly advises lenders and investors, as they take title to properties subject to these issues.
