Jonathan Sundheimer

On the front-end of lending relationships, Jonathan represents banks with loan originations, extensions, modifications and amendments. He also advises banks on loan participations, subordination agreements and mezzanine financing. On the back end, he enforces commercial real estate loans, representing receivers and collecting judgments. He also represents special servicers and financial institutions in negotiating loan modifications and loan enforcement. Jonathan also advises creditors on all aspects of Chapter 11 proceedings, including cash collateral disputes, 363 sales and plan confirmations.

In both bankruptcy and commercial litigation, Jonathan’s work has led to published opinions in the Indiana Court of Appeals, the Ohio Court of Appeals and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Out of court, he helps restructure loans secured by real property, rents and equipment. Jonathan is appreciated by clients and colleagues alike for being practical and reasonable, and for providing realistic assessments for options and how those options could affect their preferred outcome.

Jonathan frequently advises manufacturing clients on strategies for minimizing risk in the supply chain. His advice has helped both suppliers and original equipment manufacturers avoid assembly line shutdowns and ensure continuing operations. Whether negotiating contract terms or seeking the appointment of a receiver over a supplier’s operations, Jonathan’s work has reduced losses when sole source suppliers go dark.

Jonathan is a frequent speaker, presenting at the National Association of Credit Managers, Indianapolis Bar Association’s Leonard H. Opperman Chapter 11 Roundtable, ICLEF Annual Bankruptcy Institute, and the Building Owners and Managers Association.
