Mr. Dean graduated UCLA School of Law Order of the Coif in 1973. From 1973 through 1980, he was an associate in a firm that successfully prosecuted a number of Plaintiff's Federal Securities Class Actions. In 1980, Mr. Dean formed a firm with a real estate transactional attorney where he represented lenders and developers. By 1983, Mr. Dean's practice was built entirely around the representation of regional banks, savings and loans, thrift and loans, mortgage bankers and servicers. Between 1983 and 1990, he was the Group Leader of the Commercial Loan Real Estate and Title Insurance Department of a regional law firm representing banks. In 1990, Mr. Dean formed a statewide law firm as lead counsel in the commercial lending area. Mr. Dean later became Group Leader of the "Commercial Lending Group" of a national law firm.

In this capacity, in addition to litigation matters, he was responsible for the negotiation and documentation of a number of high dollar and complex acquisition, ground lease, sales, construction and loan transactions involving office buildings and hotels located throughout the United States. Working primarily on the transactional side for these few years gave him a much broader understanding and prospective on such things as the intricacies of and variances between different forms of inter-creditor agreements, loan participation and servicing agreements, ground leases, construction, conduit, and mezzanine financing, local government tax incentive agreements , management agreements, commercial leasing and construction and development contracts. Mr. Dean believes this experience has enabled him to be a far better advisor to the commercial lending clients he currently represents.
