The McCarrey Law Group has significant experience representing nationwide mortgage banks. Attorneys for the Firm have been involved in the purchase and sale of mortgage banks, nationwide licensing and licensing for expansion into Mexico. The Firm has also performed the work necessary to set-up Internet based mortgage banking.

The Firm has regulatory experience and can help you with your RESPA issues, HUD and FNMA compliance and state and local problems facing prime and sub-prime lenders.

We continue to see a large number of lenders competing for an increasingly smaller number of transactions. For the real estate developer, this means that there is still opportunity in the market place. While certain residential markets have been red hot, commercial real estate does not seem to have kept pace. Lenders are offering 100% financing on projects that only months ago would have required substantial equity.

Internationally, traditional lenders are appearing in places that they have not previously been seen. For instance, Mexico is starting to see more traditional real estate financing. Not only does this bode well for Mexico, but it also speaks to the new vistas for real estate developers and those that are willing to take the giant leap of leaving the relative security of known borders and moving into an area where both the risks and the rewards are greater.

The world has become significantly smaller for business and companies all over are looking to partner with local firms to create the best opportunity for success in a foreign market. We not only help in the process of identifying potential partners for our clients, but also insure that our client's interests are protected no matter the legal environment.

Historically, the world of international business was left to the large multinational companies, but this is no longer the case. Companies entering foreign markets need to know that they are protected against the vagaries of different legal systems. We are able to provide this help.

To our Canadian and Mexican clients, we offer the ability to maximize the business opportunities that exist as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement. NAFTA provides unique opportunities to enter new markets in the United States, Canada and Mexico on a level playing field with the domestic companies. We can help you successfully navigate through the unique regulatory and legal schemes that are found in each of the NAFTA countries.

The Firm has expertise in many of the areas that investment and merchant banking have traditionally been involved, including mergers and acquisition, placement of equity capital and due diligence analysis. The Firm's expertise goes across borders and covers many disciplines.
