As the only national law firm exclusively serving the business-purpose private lending industry, Private Lender Law represents over 100 lenders across the country and closes more than 2,000 loans each month.

More than a high-volume legal operation, Private Lender Law is an industry partner committed to long-term infrastructure, advocacy, and best practices. As a founding and leading force behind the National Private Lenders Association (NPLA), the firm has been instrumental in building ethical standards, interpreting evolving regulation, and protecting lender rights across multiple jurisdictions. Its team works directly with policymakers, capital providers, brokers, and investors to ensure the private lending industry continues to operate with integrity, speed, and professionalism.
The nomination from IMN’s SFR Industry Awards reflects a broad recognition of Private Lender Law’s role not just as a legal provider, but as a force shaping the future of SFR investing and private credit.
