Eric L. Sanders

Eric L. Sanders represents institutional clients in commercial and real estate lending (including workouts of troubled credits) and in real estate acquisition and leasing matters.

Mr. Sanders began his legal career at Morrison & Foerster, where he had a broad-based real estate and commercial lending practice. He subsequently worked as in-house counsel at Wells Fargo Bank, where he handled real estate and commercial workouts, and at City National Bank, where he was the Bank’s senior real estate lawyer and advised clients on all aspects of real estate including lending, workouts, and the leasing, sale and disposition of Bank property.

Mr. Sanders’ experience as inside counsel provides him with a unique perspective on how to serve clients efficiently as well as a sensitivity to the special requirements and issues faced by financial institutions. This perspective enabled him to further develop and expand his practice when he returned to Morrison & Foerster in 2000, and now as a partner with Sanchez & Amador. Mr. Sanders received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1983. He received his law degree in 1987 from the UCLA School of Law, where he was a member of the UCLA Law Review and the Order of the Coif.

Mr. Sanders served on the Steering Committee of the Real Estate Finance Subsection of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and is a member of the State Bar of California and the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
