Bracewell has launched a new real estate special situations practice with a pair of partners in Dallas. Alex Dimock and Sam Murphy expand the firm’s offerings in distressed commercial real estate, commercial mortgage-backed securities, loan workouts, and enforcement and real estate restructuring.
Dimock and Murphy told Law360 that they began working closely together years ago at their prior firm and have complementary skills and approaches.
“I’m the big picture, very aggressive litigator type, and Sam is very methodical, very calm, cool and collected, and is great on the transactional side,” Dimock said. “We really cover all the bases together well.”
Murphy said that, while the firm has formalized its special situations practice with his and Dimock’s arrivals, Bracewell already had offerings that mesh with the attorneys’ areas of expertise.
“Their market-leading practice complements our real estate, finance and litigation practices, and broadens our range of expertise in the US commercial real estate market,” Bracewell managing partner Greg Bopp said.
“Alex and Sam’s arrival strengthens our ability to support clients around the country on distressed commercial real estate and CMBS-related challenges in an increasingly active and complex real estate environment,” Dallas managing partner Brock Bailey said.
