Mitchell, a partner in Nutter’s Real Estate and Finance Department and co-chair of the firm's Commercial Finance practice group, will present on the “Let's Get This Project Built — What's the Market in Construction Lending Today?” panel at the “Intermediate Real Estate Financing” webinar on March 30.

The webinar will address: 

• Proper overview of construction loan checklist and legal issues arising during due diligence 
  • Zoning compliance, getting utilities to the site, development agreements, and the development process 
• Third party construction agreements 
  • Assignments of contracts, certifications, and consents 
  • Mechanic’s liens: subordination, title coverage, bonding, and subcontractor default insurance 
• The Draw Process: Draw requests, change orders, budget reallocation, loan balancing, and the role of lender’s inspector 
• Payment and completion guaranties

The series, co-sponsored by the American Bar Association (ABA) and the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL), is specifically designed for attorneys with basic experience in real estate financing who want to expand their knowledge. The speakers consist of ACREL Fellows who are leading industry practitioners with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in real estate law.
