Before joining Sherin and Lodgen, Anetakis owned his own boutique law firm, Anetakis Law LLC, where, in addition to his commercial financing practice, he represented financial institutions in loan recovery, work out, and debt restructuring, including drafting and negotiation of forbearance agreements, conducting real estate foreclosures, and preparation of debt assignment and assumption agreements. He has also worked with owners and developers in all matters pertaining to commercial real estate, including acquisitions, sales, leasing, permitting, development, construction, and financing. Prior to that, Jack served as in-house counsel for a real estate developer that specialized in multi-family and student housing, and mixed-use developments.
In addition to his background in both real estate and corporate finance, Anetakis brings his extensive renewable energy expertise to Sherin and Lodgen. He carries over his experience representing lenders and developers in connection with renewable energy projects, including review and/or negotiation of site leases, power purchase arrangements, PILOT agreements, and forbearance agreements with tax credit investors.
