Michael D. Goodwin

Michael also regularly represents universities, private institutions, and governmental authorities in transactions with developers. These transactions involve reconciling the programmatic objectives of the nonprofit or public entity with the developer's market realities. They span projects as diverse as the District of Columbia's convention center headquarters hotel and the redeployment of the old convention site for upscale mixed uses.

In market downturns, Michael has represented developers and investors in a broad array of workout transactions. These include defensive strategies, such as A/B note structures, discounted payoffs and short sales. They also include opportunistic strategies, such as note purchases and white knight capital transactions.

Michael is heavily involved in hospitality projects nationwide, handling hotel projects for owners and developers. His work includes the development of full-service hotels, as well as acquisitions/sales, debt and equity financing, public incentives, and management and franchise agreements.
