Jamie L. Erickson

Jamie is a partner in the firm’s Finance Practice, where she represents institutional lenders and real estate investors in complex commercial real estate finance transactions across the United States. Her practice is focused on lender-side finance, with particular experience advising private equity firms, banks, insurance companies, debt funds, REITs, and other capital providers deploying senior, subordinate, mezzanine, bridge, construction, and permanent mortgage debt.

Jamie regularly handles the full life cycle of commercial real estate lending transactions—from term sheet and diligence through loan documentation, closing, servicing matters, and modifications. She advises on senior and mezzanine construction financings, bridge loans, permanent loans, ground lease financings, and other structured real estate credit facilities. Her work includes the negotiation and preparation of traditional loan documents, intercreditor agreements, cash-management arrangements, pledge and security documents, nonrecourse carveout and interest and carry guaranties, and other lender-protective collateral documents.

Her matters involve a broad range of asset classes and transaction structures, including multifamily, hospitality, condominium, mixed-use, healthcare, sports and entertainment, agricultural, and other specialized commercial properties. Jamie is experienced in addressing the complex issues that arise in multi-state transactions, including title, survey, zoning, lease, environmental, entity-structure, UCC, collateral-perfection, nonrecourse carveout, and intercreditor matters.

Drawing on more than 25 years of commercial real estate finance experience, Jamie brings a practical, execution-oriented approach to transactions involving sophisticated sponsors, lender groups, and borrowers. She understands the importance of rigorous underwriting support, disciplined documentation, enforceable lender remedies, and efficient closings—particularly in time-sensitive, high-volume lending platforms. Clients value her ability to identify legal and structural risk early, develop commercially workable solutions, and move transactions to closing without compromising lender protections.

Jamie was certified by the Agricultural Lending Institute (ALI), the premier institute for agricultural lending professionals, in June 2024.
