Professional Experience / Bio

Davis specializes in representing lender clients in acquisition, development and construction loan transactions, work-out, and general banking matters as well as all other aspects of commercial real estate.  Because no area of law operates in a vacuum, it’s common for Davis to work with the Rogers Towers Litigation Department to provide counsel on default and collection matters.  Additionally, Davis regularly interfaces with the Trusts & Estates Department at Rogers Towers to assist trust entities as a borrower or guarantor.  Much of Davis’s practice centers on lender representation, giving him a high level of specialization and expertise, as well as a quick turnaround time for clients.
