Biography

Eric Orenstein joined the New York City law firm of Rosenberg & Estis, P.C. in 2005 and is a partner in the firm's transactional real estate group.

One focus of his practice has been representing lenders and borrowers in financing transactions and workouts of loans on troubled assets. Orenstein has been working closely with lenders and borrowers on creative solutions to restructure loans and rework the debt on troubled real estate assets, often avoiding the lengthy and costly foreclosure and bankruptcy process.

He also currently represents owners and developers of commercial properties in the tri-state New York area providing his legal expertise in all aspects of real estate including leasing, development, financing and purchase and sale transactions.

Orenstein's close interaction with his clients and assistance in evaluating his clients' deals from their inception has allowed him to develop an understanding of all the issues concerning commercial real estate from both a legal and business prospective. His experience provides him with the ability to protect his clients' interests while achieving their goals.

Orenstein received his bachelor's degree from Binghamton University, a State University of New York and his juris doctorate from Hofstra School of Law. He is licensed to practice law in New York.
