Bradley H. Mindlin

Of Counsel
“When deals get complex, I bring structure, urgency, and a practical understanding of the nuts and bolts of commercial real estate transactions.”

Bradley Mindlin advises on the ownership, operation, and repositioning of commercial real estate, with particular depth in navigating distressed assets in secondary markets.

Having worked on deals involving more than 10 million square feet of property, Brad brings extensive transactional knowledge and a business-savvy approach to every engagement. His practice includes real estate finance, fund formation, and the representation of public companies and real estate investment trusts in high-stakes acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing matters.

Brad’s work often touches on environmental concerns, oil and gas interests, and complex, multijurisdictional transactions. He is especially valued for his ability to steer clients through workouts and restructuring efforts that require both legal precision and commercial perspective.

Clients rely on Brad’s thorough understanding of real estate operations and his ability to bring clarity to fast-moving or layered transactions—especially when time, value, and risk are in tension.

Representative Matters

  • Acquisition and Financing: Represented a multi-state buyer in the negotiation, acquisition, due diligence, financing and capital stack of a $44 million, value-added Class B portfolio of apartments consisting of five properties and 1,368 units in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
  • Acquisition, Disposition: Represented a multi-state real estate company in the acquisition, negotiation, and later disposition, of two Class A flex industrial properties originally acquired from a major banking institution as an REO acquisition.
  • Crowd Funding: Representation of clients in real estate negotiations and other ventures involving crowd funding with respect to the new amendments enacted through the Obama Job Act.
  • Disposition: Represented a real estate company in the negotiation, purchase and later disposition of a cold storage industrial warehouse in Charlotte, North Carolina. The project was bought through negotiations with a bankrupt entity, with the firm handling all issues with the bankruptcy court and lender, while assisting clients in the acquisition.
  • Private Equity Fund Governmental Investigation: A high profile private equity firm was being investigated by various agencies, including the SEC, the DOJ and various offices of the Attorney General, which sought to fine the fund over $30 million. The client originally had a large and well-known national law firm representing it, but that firm was unable to resolve the investigations, so the client retained M&R. After years of litigation in eight different jurisdictions against numerous agencies, the case was resolved with “closing letters” received from certain agencies, stating that the investigation was over. The success is not only in the rare receipt of the closing letters, but also in that M&R obtained for the client a $9 million investigation reimbursement from a third party.
