Mark represents real estate developers, property owners, and financial institutions in all types of real estate transactions, with particular focus on real estate finance. Based in the Los Angeles office, Mark represents clients in matters related to construction, permanent, securitized, mezzanine, preferred equity, and cross-border financing; the acquisition, disposition, and development of vacant land, office buildings, apartment complexes, hotels, shopping centers, and other commercial, residential, and mixed-use properties; and the formation and representation of corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and other joint ventures. He also represents commercial tenants and landlords in connection with office, retail, and other commercial leasing, ground leasing, and leasehold financing.
Part of Mark’s success can be attributed to his business-minded approach, his experience on both the borrower and lender sides of multifaceted finance transactions, and his rich experience working with developers as well as investment banking and real estate hedge fund clients. Sophisticated clients with established institutional legal frameworks, such as major international and Wall Street financial institutions, rely on Mark’s distinct experience to provide the flexibility their work often requires. For entrepreneurial clients, he removes distracting details and obstacles from the decision-making process, while setting their course to act effectively.
His portfolio includes multi-billion-dollar acquisitions for noted real estate investment groups and financers throughout the United States. In equity financing transactions, Mark has considerable experience representing both institutional and non-institutional investors. He is equally experienced in handling transactions for smaller, entrepreneurial clients, handling their needs proficiently and expeditiously. Prior to practicing law, Mark served as the Controller for a medical center, giving him a broader and more holistic perspective on complicated deals and complex transactions.
Licensed to practice law in California, Nevada, and Florida, Mark maintains a national practice and frequently acts as local counsel for several institutional lenders on both coasts, as well as for developers in Nevada.
Mark is a member of Mensa and is involved in regional and specialty bar associations. He is also a member of the Pasadena Rotary Club. Prior to joining Allen Matkins, Mark practiced at several renowned AmLaw 100 firms. Mark is also a Certified Public Accountant (inactive) in the State of Florida.
