Overview
With offices in the United States, Europe and Asia, our real estate team delivers sophisticated advice to address the unique legal and business challenges of real estate transactions and investments around the globe, reducing risk and capitalizing on opportunities, wherever you do business.
Employing a full-service multi-disciplinary practice involving finance, corporate, tax, regulatory, litigation and business restructuring professionals, we provide comprehensive counsel and support through all phases of real estate development, financing and investment: from initial structuring through acquisition, construction or redevelopment, management, leasing and operations, financing, and disposition or other monetization. When necessary, you can also turn to us for workout and other divestment requirements.
Because our team is fully integrated across top-ranked practice areas in tax, business restructuring, litigation, M&A and private equity, and family office representations, you have access to the full resources of the Firm when you hire us. Additionally, our finance team has deep market knowledge and experience in all segments of mortgage, mezzanine and construction lending, acting on both the lender and borrower sides. We work closely with all these colleagues on creative solutions for any issues that may impact your transaction.
On behalf of a diverse clientele—including financial institutions, landlords, private equity funds and sponsors (including debt and strategic opportunity funds), institutional and high net worth investors, major tenants, owner-operators and developers of office, residential, retail and hospitality properties—we have handled signature real estate projects around the world, and we deploy that experience to facilitate complex, nuanced cross-border transactions on your behalf. Our experience involves significant and iconic properties, multi-property portfolios, warehouse and other lending facilities, loan portfolio transactions, redevelopment projects, branded property and property management agreements, conduit and balance sheet lending, and preferred equity and sponsor joint ventures for both specified and to-be-identified projects.
