At HunterMaclean, our Commercial Finance Group represents major national and international institutional lenders, as well as local banks, in negotiating, documenting and closing commercial loan transactions. Our attorneys have negotiated and closed finance loans for franchises such as Taco Bell, Burger King and Wendy's, along with a number of hotel chains.

Our commercial finance attorneys counsel the owners and operators of a number of major shopping centers, office buildings, office parks, inns, and apartment complexes in their leasing matters. In addition, our commercial finance team understands that costly lease disputes can be avoided by starting with a document that deals with these issues unambiguously, and which is tailored to each particular client's needs.
