Messerli Kramer is thrilled to announce the addition of Patrick Messmer to our Banking and Finance team. Patrick arrives at Messerli Kramer with ten years of experience at highly respected firms in both the Midwest and the East Coast. With a background in litigation, Patrick brings a keen eye to his clients’ transactions, navigating potential issues through a framework of litigation avoidance while still maximizing transactional benefits.
At Messerli Kramer, Patrick Messmer’s practice will focus on representing lenders in commercial lending transactions, including construction loans, perm loans, bridge loans, asset-based loans, and bond financing transactions. These loans often involve tax credits, which is Patrick’s primary focus. With one of the premier tax credit practices in the region, Messerli Kramer is excited about the experience Patrick brings in an array of tax credit areas – from Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to Historic Tax Credits to renewable energy tax credits available in solar and wind projects.
Patrick also has experience representing developers, owners, landlords, and tenants in acquisitions, sales, leasing and financing all types of commercial real estate, including redevelopment projects, mixed-use buildings, retail centers, and industrial sites.
Patrick Messmer joins an expanding team at MK, adding to our deep bench of attorney experience with Michelle Jester, Brett Perry, Meghan Marty, and Shannon Cook.
