Jeffrey Page

Jeffrey S. Page is real estate attorney in Holland & Knight's New York office, where he focuses his practice on a wide range of real estate and commercial finance matters. He serves institutional lenders across the country and internationally, handling transactions involving virtually every type of real estate asset. He is experienced in all facets of real estate lending, including structuring the capital stack, advising on intercreditor and participation issues, drafting and negotiating documents and navigating distressed loan workouts. His practice includes loans originated to be held on the balance sheet, to be syndicated (ranging from small facilities with several lenders to large facilities with dozens of lenders), to be securitized through commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and loans originated for collateralized loan obligation (CLO) securitization.

In addition, Mr. Page is an experienced loan restructuring lawyer. While working for a major European bank, he was responsible for managing more than $6 billion of distressed loans. His work with distressed loans includes secured, term and construction loans across assets classes (hotels, office, warehouse and residential), as well as unsecured commercial loans.

Mr. Page's experience ranges from loans requiring minor modifications to loans in full default, including for borrowers in bankruptcy, the takeover of construction projects, foreclosures and other realization on collateral, and participation in creditor's committees. In addition, he has significant experience with troubled syndicated loans with bank groups ranging from a few banks to loans with more than 180 banks requiring several levels of lender committees to address the various voting thresholds in loan documents.

Mr. Page is a proponent of using technology to drive efficiencies for clients and has used it in connection with portfolios of troubled loans as well as for new loan closings. In addition, he leverages document automation and other technologies to gain additional efficiencies.

Prior to joining Holland & Knight, Mr. Page held leadership roles in the real estate finance and distressed office building practices for a national law firm in its New York office.
