Jon's practice includes representation of banks, insurance companies and other commercial lenders in a broad variety of financing transactions. Recent transactions run the gamut from a parking garage to a state-of-the-art laboratory for a biotech company. Other recent transactions include unsecured lending, receivables financings, equipment financings and real estate loans. Jon has particular skilled experience in both conventional and tax-exempt financing for senior living facilities, long-term care facilities, educational institutions, non-profit cultural institutions and social service agencies.

• Jon recently closed a complex financing for the expansion of a continuing care retirement community. This transaction required creativity to weave the new financing into the rights created by an existing long-term bond issue, a ground lease and other existing documentation.
  
  
• Working against a year-end deadline, Jon helped to shape and guide to fruition a major construction financing for a venerable New England museum.
  
  
• Jon serves as sole national senior living counsel for an East Coast financial institution active in this arena. In that role, he travels to California, Arizona, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, upstate New York and other locations closing financings for independent living facilities, assisted living facilities and continuing care retirement communities.

• Jon lectures on a regular basis for Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc. He also participates in presentations for the Fleet National Bank training program.
