STEIN MITCHELL ATTORNEYS REPRESENT WHISTLEBLOWERS IN NEARLY $385 MILLION ABBOTT INFANT FORMULA SETTLEMENT
Why this matters
Capital markets activity continues to be defined by the rotation from bank balance sheets to non-bank lenders. Private credit funds have raised record dry powder; banks have tightened CRE underwriting standards for the sixth consecutive quarter. The result is a market where well-sponsored deals clear, and marginal credit pays a meaningful spread to do so. Washington office has been a leading conversion market in the cycle, with multiple downtown Class B assets entering office-to-residential programs in the last twelve months. For LPs, the allocation conversation has shifted decisively toward real estate debt, with equity allocations being deployed more selectively into operator-led platforms.
