Gustavo (“Gus”) Schneider’s practice is national in scope and primarily involves the representation of lenders and loan servicers in connection with the servicing and restructuring of commercial real estate loans, with particular emphasis on the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized loan obligation (CLO) and capital markets execution (CME) industries.  

Gus has considerable experience handling a wide variety of complex commercial real estate finance transactions including originations, assumptions, transfers of equity interests, modifications, forbearances, workouts and CMBS closing calls. In addition, Gus has represented many of the industry’s major loan servicers in the defeasance of billions of dollars of securitized mortgage loans. By understanding the entire life of a loan, Gus applies a holistic and practical approach to problem solving on behalf of clients.

Gus is fluent in Spanish and spent his adolescence living abroad in Mexico’s central highland. It was there, along the cobblestone streets of Mexico’s “Cuna de la Independencia” (Cradle of Independence), where Gus developed a flexible and adaptive bicultural worldview that he leverages for the benefit of clients.
