MIAMI—If you want an alternate view on sale-leasebacks, ask the attorneys that work out the details. GlobeSt.com caught up with Joseph M. Marger, a partner at the law firm Reed Smith, to get his thoughts on the state of the sale-leaseback market in part one of this two-part interview. Be sure to come back this afternoon, when Marger will discuss when sale-leasebacks work best and the challenge involved in getting these deals done.
GlobeSt.com: Did strategies for sale-lease back change through the downturn? Are they changing in the recovery?
Marger: Although capital was tight, companies were not expanding so demand was somewhat flat. At the same time, more players entered the sale-leaseback lending market in search of better returns, creating more competition for quality transactions. Sale-leaseback finance companies had to be more creative to unlock value for potential tenants.
