McGuireWoods LLP

Bill Seligman is a partner in McGuireWoods’ Real Estate and Land Use practice in its Los Angeles – Century City office.

He concentrates his practice in real estate finance. He has extensive experience in the representation of senior and mezzanine lenders, and institutional investors, in financing transactions involving all major asset classes. Bill has lending experience in construction, bridge and permanent loans, for syndicated facilities, insurance companies and other portfolio lenders, and securitization execution, including for “loan on loan” and senior/subordinate financing structures. He also represents borrowers in acquisition, construction, bridge and permanent financings. A particular focus of Bill’s practice includes the net lease sector, where he regularly represents lenders, tenants and owners in sale-leaseback transactions and other structured financings.

Bill advises bank and non-bank lenders in all aspects of the commercial real estate lending process, from designing procedures and drafting form documents for new lenders, to loan structuring and origination, and culminating either with the disposition (via securitization, one-off or portfolio sales) or servicing functions. He represents lenders and debt holders in negotiated workouts, foreclosures (consensual and contested), deed-in-lieu transactions, loan sales, equity recapitalizations and other exit strategies for under-performing or distressed investments.
