Real Estate Lending Group

We have extensive knowledge of the BC and Canadian lending environments and decades of experience adapting to diverse economic conditions.

The Real Estate Lending Group at Richards Buell Sutton LLP operates a niche practice that serves sophisticated and well-established national and regional clients.  Our history of active involvement with lending transactions in the province of British Columbia has resulted in the development of a cohesive and highly experienced group of lawyers and support professionals who are well acquainted with every aspect, advantage and challenge associated with real estate lending transactions in British Columbia.

What We Do

Since the firm’s inception in the late 1800s, our Lending Group has consistently focused on acting for banks, life insurance companies with real estate investments, credit unions, mortgage investment corporations and other lenders and borrowers in secured financing transactions.

In addition to continuing to service our long-standing clients and exclusive retainers within the province, our lawyers are also regularly the trusted recipients of referrals from other law firms requiring experienced, outside counsel to act for clients on specific lending transactions in British Columbia.

What You can Expect from Us

Extensive knowledge of the BC and Canadian lending environments and decades of experience adapting to diverse economic conditions mean our Lending Group lawyers are well equipped to assist clients in structuring deals and managing the challenges presented by the current economic climate.  We know how to respond to protect our clients’ operations, implement any necessary counter measures and allow them to develop effective business strategies defined by appropriate, achievable goals.

At RBS our Lending Group lawyers make it a point to participate in the key institutions and organizations that shape the regulatory and legislative lending infrastructure in the province. Our lawyers are actively involved in real estate and commercial lending industry based interest groups, government appointed ad hoc committees and legislative lobby organizations.

We have also purposely organized our Group to provide our clients with continuity of service.  We do this by combining senior and junior counsel in client care teams so that there is always someone available to answer questions, provide strategic advice and implement instructions.
