Arent Fox represents hospitality clients in a wide variety of financing transactions associated with their development, acquisition, and disposition efforts. For those clients developing new properties, we negotiate site acquisition and construction loans and handle all construction-related documentation required by lenders. In cases involving financing for hotel renovations, we assist clients with secured or unsecured loans and address the subordination issues related to any preexisting financing.

We advise clients on structuring their businesses to accommodate joint venture and other equity arrangements, and serve as counsel on sale-leaseback, ground leasing, mezzanine loan, and preferred-equity transactions. Arent Fox has experience in representing borrowers in syndicated and securitized financing transactions and is adept at dealing with rating agency requirements. We draw on the resources of the Arent Fox Public Financing group to assist with any bond financing and tax increment financing.
