David Paulson's practice centers around the representation of private capital providers, debt funds, and commercial lenders in complex real estate finance transactions as well as the resolution and restructuring of distressed loans.
David's areas of special focus include hospitality, single-family for rent housing, multifamily, office, retail, studio, industrial, senior housing, and data center properties, as well as secured and unsecured lines of credit for real estate investment trusts (REITs), regional and national homebuilders, and real estate funds. Additionally a significant portion of his time is spent working with mezzanine, A/B, preferred equity, and other forms of subordinated financing.
David's workout experience spans the gamut from the restructuring and exercise of remedies with respect to single-asset secured transactions, to the workout of large secured and unsecured syndicated public-company credits, including within bankruptcy and litigation. David also has led numerous large and small note purchase and sale transactions, including global purchases of large multicountry loan portfolios and the purchase and sale of small pools of nonperforming loans.
David helps coordinate Jones Day's real estate finance area and frequently presents seminars and trainings on all aspects of real estate financing and workouts.
