Tell us a little bit about your practice and what makes it unique.

  • GERSON LAW FIRM emphasizes commercial real estate finance, and closes more than 750 to more than 900 loans per year, as well as numerous post-closing servicing and non-servicing matters. The scope of GERSONLAW's commercial real estate practice managed by 17 lawyers equals or exceeds AM100 law firms.
 

What common questions are you asked by clients, and what are your answers?

  • Q: How do you close commercial real estate loans at legal fees that are less than other national law firms?
    A: Like Costco, we provide the best products with Nordstrom level of service, but not at our competitor's Neiman Marcus prices.
 

What is most challenging about your area(s) of expertise?

  • When you are a small law firm representing major lenders, other law firms are daily competing for your business.
 

Were there any particular inspirations (people or events) that spurred your interest in your practice area(s)?

  • Costco and Nordstrom's.
 

What other interests do you have?

  • A work-out ethic as strong as my work ethic. I do elliptical running, as well as cycling and swimming.
