Navigating Distress: Commercial Real Estate Workouts in the CMBS and CLO Markets

In this episode of Mayer Brown's Financial Services Focus, real estate partner Michael Weiss and Michael Cohen of Brighton Capital Advisors discuss the current state of the U.S. distressed commercial real estate market, with particular emphasis on CMBS and CLO loan workouts. The conversation explores why multifamily, office, and hotel assets face mounting pressure from high interest rates, overleveraging, and an approaching wave of loan maturities—and why conditions may be worse than widely reported. Cohen draws on over 30 years of Commercial Real Estate securitized lending experience to outline practical strategies for borrowers, stressing the importance of early engagement, assembling the right advisory team, and understanding loan document nuances before distress escalates. The episode concludes with actionable guidance for sponsors seeking to protect their interests and position themselves for successful outcomes in an increasingly challenging refinancing environment.

Consolidation, AI, and the Future of Mortgage Servicing

In this episode of Financial Services Focus, Mayer Brown partner Lauren Pryor is joined by John Guzzo, Managing Director at Houlihan Lokey; Dan Thompson, CEO of Preferred Mortgage Services; Romalene Tolentino, Founding Partner of Preferred Mortgage Services; and Rajesh Bhat, Board Member of Preferred Mortgage Services and former founder and CEO of Roostify, for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces reshaping the mortgage servicing market. The panel examines how post-crisis regulatory shifts and rising technology demands have driven significant consolidation among servicers and their vendors, why outsourcing is increasingly oriented toward access to specialized expertise rather than simple cost reduction, and how cloud-based platforms are beginning to modernize historically manual processes such as investor reporting and exception management. The discussion also addresses the promise and risks of generative and agentic AI in a highly regulated environment—from automating exception resolution and document processing to the critical importance of human-in-the-loop guardrails, robust audit trails, and evolving liability frameworks.
