SPC LLP Celebrates the Retirement and Next Chapter of Founding Partner Nader Pakfar

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – January 21, 2026 – SPC LLP announced today that Nader Pakfar, a founding partner of the firm, is retiring from SPC LLP to pursue the next chapter of his professional journey. The Firm celebrates Nader’s remarkable career, his indispensable role in the Firm’s establishment and growth, and his enduring legacy of legal excellence.

Since co-founding SPC LLP alongside James Courtney and Keith Sutton, Nader has been instrumental in shaping the Firm’s identity as a boutique powerhouse in complex corporate and real estate transactions. Under his leadership, the Firm built a reputation for strategic counsel across a wide range of sophisticated real estate and corporate transactions. SPC LLP expresses profound gratitude for Nader’s many contributions, both as a lawyer and a leader.

“Nader’s vision and dedication have been central to SPC LLP’s success,” said James Courtney, founding partner. “From his instrumental role in building this Firm to his unwavering commitment to clients and colleagues, Nader has set a standard of excellence that will resonate for years to come. We are proud of all he has achieved, and we congratulate him on this next chapter.”

Over the course of his career at SPC LLP, Nader distinguished himself as a preeminent attorney in real estate and general business law. He represented corporate and institutional clients in a broad array of complex transactions involving joint ventures, acquisitions and dispositions, commercial leasing, real estate-backed financings, loan modifications and restructurings, and bankruptcy sales. He has been particularly recognized for his skill in structuring and negotiating sophisticated financing arrangements involving senior, subordinate, and mezzanine debt and preferred equity. Nader’s practice spanned virtually every major real estate asset class and extended into the securities arena, including private equity fund formation, public offerings, and high-stakes corporate transactions. He is a Fellow of the American College of Mortgage Attorneys, a distinction that reflects his stature within the profession.

Throughout his tenure, Nader has embodied the Firm’s core values: client-centric counsel, strategic insight, and legal precision. His colleagues and clients alike have benefited from his thoughtful leadership and deep industry expertise.
