Glenn P. Frank

Question 1

In his real estate practice, Glenn addresses all client needs relating to acquisition, development, investment, financing, and divestiture of real estate projects including, management, and leasing of office buildings or other major facilities, site acquisition, permitting, and mergers. His practice provides practical and innovative solutions for those in the real estate industry as partners, investors, and lenders. Clients include developers, banks, insurance companies, and other construction and permanent lenders in connection with real estate projects. Glenn’s practice covers a wide array of transactions including: acquisition financing, asset-based financing, debt and balance sheet restructuring, mezzanine financing, structured and specialized finance products.

Glenn also represents individuals and family businesses with a broad range of inter-family conflicts, trust disputes and succession problems (including issues introduced by forced heirship). His practice involves resolution through litigation, though he believes it is rarely in a family's interest to have its private conflicts dragged into the public arena. He strives to do all he can to resolve disputes via alternative routes such as mediation, in order to reach a satisfactory outcome while maintaining discretion and confidentiality. Glenn represents family members, settlers, protectors, enforcers, trustees, directors of family companies and beneficiaries.

Glenn served as State Counsel, Massachusetts for the Mondale/Ferraro Presidential Campaign. Glenn has also been Manager of the Super 88 Charitable Trust and Counsel to the Cape AIDS Ministry.
