Atlanta partner Rusty Fleming will speak at IMN's Real Estate Mezzanine Financing & High-Yield Debt Forum in New York on Nov. 7. Fleming's practice involves representing traditional and non-traditional lenders in the banking and financial services as well as real estate industries.

Fleming and panel members will discuss "Land Acquisition, Pre-Construction and Construction Loans." Some of the topics they will consider before the property owners and lenders in attendance include:

• Supply and demand outlook for land deals and construction projects
• How are these projects most commonly financed?
• Who is providing the finance and which projects are most attractive to them?
• How do you protect all parties against a default?
• When is preferred equity the best option?

Fleming is a Fellow of the American College of Mortgage Attorneys and has been recognized by Chambers USA as a top lawyer in banking and finance.
