We work on complex real estate financings around the world, whether on behalf of sponsors or lenders, and whether sponsors as traditional debt or negotiating quasi joint venture arrangements using a combination of debt and equity instruments.

Our “one-stop-shop” integrated approach means our lawyers work closely together around the world and across practice areas to deliver a seamless and comprehensive service.

We have experience acting for all types of sponsor and lender: banks, private equity, sovereign wealth, debt funds, listed property companies, REITs, family offices, entrepreneurs, which gives us a unique appreciation of the issues that matter to different types of clients.

Our clients finance developments, hotel and leisure assets, investment properties, student accommodation, structured real estate financings, debt portfolio bids and acquisitions, loan-on-loan financings and restructurings and enforcement of existing facilities.
