Types of Clients Served Satisfying Securitizations and Complicated Financing Needs At Gallagher, we understand the nuances of negotiating with lenders as well as representing the best interests of our clients who are lenders. The resurgence of the capital markets as financing tools for commercial real estate has given rise to new securitizations and creative financing that brings multiple, non-traditional lenders into the capital stack. Beyond traditional securitizations, issuers of mezzanine debt are likely to be private equity, hedge funds or REITS, and as a result, insurance requirements may be substantially higher and more rigorous than traditional Life Company and balance sheet lenders.
Why Gallagher? Normally, we don t like to pat ourselves on the back. But every so often our clients or someone in the industry will share with us how they feel about our partnership, the services we provide or how we conduct business. And at Gallagher, we re especially proud to meet or exceed client expectations.
