Carlton Fields has hired three veteran real estate lawyers experienced in using commercial mortgage-backed securities to finance real estate loans, positioning itself for the re-emergence of the CMBS origination market while working with distressed debt. Marci P. Schmerler and A. Lee Lyman joined the firm last week as shareholders from Thompson Hine. Robert A. Barnes joined as of counsel earlier in the year from Cantor Fitzgerald, where he was a managing director.

Barnes spent 17 years at Column Financial, a CMBS originator based in Atlanta and a subsidiary of Credit Suisse. He served as general counsel for Column Financial before joining Cantor Fitzgerald a year ago to open an Atlanta office for Cantor Commercial Real Estate to originate CMBS loans.
