Thompson Coburn partner Simran Bindra was quoted in a Bisnow article on how the country's banks have responded to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank by paring back loan origination to commercial real estate.

"The small banks have slowed their growth in some categories, and we have some clients who are precisely in that boat in terms of origination but are continuing to make loans to strong sponsors and those with cash-flowing assets that can handle a higher interest rate environment," Simran said. 

Banks making loans are "hyper-focused" on having a deposit relationship as well, Simran noted. "Post-SVB, deposits are king."
