Real Estate Weekly Recognizes Hunton Andrews Kurth Partner as a Rising Star for 2020

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is proud to share that New York partner, Matthew Scoville, was named a 2020 Rising Star by Real Estate Weekly. This publication recognizes up-and-coming professionals “who transcended the turbulence around them to solve problems, create solutions and drive their business forward during historic times.”

As a partner in the firm’s real estate practice, Scoville cuts a wide swath across the real estate industry by advising owners, developers, investors and lenders, among them REITS, private equity funds and family offices, on deals varying from construction to acquisitions to joint ventures to complex financings (including subordinate debt, preferred equity and all types of loan acquisitions as well as loan workouts and mortgage and mezzanine foreclosures) and beyond. As a negotiator who understands the legal and business issues on both sides of a transaction, he has advised on real estate transactions in New York and around the country valued at over $4.5 billion in the past year alone. Scoville led a multitude of recent notable transactions, some of which include the $220 million financing of residential rental and retail development in Washington, D.C. by a prominent real estate owner and developer, the representation of a real estate development firm in connection with a $123.5 million mortgage loan secured by an office building in California and the mezzanine financing of a condominium project in New York City for a private equity fund lender, which included a major restructuring and a subsequent successful UCC sale on behalf of the lender.
