Understanding current real estate market trends and their impact on the economic and legal aspects of transactions is paramount for clients. Real estate sellers and buyers, joint venture partners, lenders and borrowers, developers, and landlords and tenants seek Miles' advice and practical solutions for structures and the terms of their transactions.

Miles' practice focuses on commercial real estate acquisitions, sales, joint ventures, development, leasing and lending, and the real estate aspects of mergers and acquisitions, hotels and resorts, alternative energy and other project finance deals. He understands the economic drivers and important matters for clients from his more than 30 years of experience in high-profile institutional and entrepreneurial real estate transactions across the various asset classes. He also understands his clients' perspective, as a real estate investor himself.

Throughout his career, Miles has represented nearly every type of party in commercial real estate transactions. He counsels pension funds, private equity funds and other institutional investors, as well as family office and other entrepreneurial investors on commercial real estate acquisitions, sales, joint ventures, and developments. In addition, he counsels banks, insurance companies and other institutional lenders on fee and leasehold mortgage loans, construction and project loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financings, intercreditor agreements, loan participations and A/B note structures, loan portfolio acquisitions and dispositions, and loan workouts, foreclosures, actions against guarantors and other remedies. He also represents tenants and landlords on ground and master leases, as well as office and retail leases, including those for high-end restaurant and entertainment clients with a global footprint. This experience has given him a unique perspective to grasp the needs of clients in their transactions, and create structures and solutions which get the deal done.

To enhance his service and create cost efficiencies for clients, Miles leverages the firm's technology resources. For instance, particularly for volume clients, he develops document templates for purchase agreements, joint venture agreements and leases, as well as language for typical solutions to matters in those documents. He also creates budget tools and timelines for transactions.

Miles enjoys his practice at Seyfarth, where he works with colleagues who are entrepreneurial problem-solvers. He knows they are always ready to help him serve his clients, as he is ready to serve their clients.
