About the Team

Our client's Real Estate Finance legal team works with other ratings analysts by evaluating potential credit risks in transaction and loan structures related primarily to CMBS, CRE CLO and MBS issuances.

You will also assist our client’s Real Estate Finance Surveillance group with Rating Agency Confirmation (RAC) requests. This will involve having you review RAC requests (defeasances and assumptions) and related loan documents and servicing agreements, in addition to coordinating with outside counsel and surveillance analysts.
