Our European real estate network provides an integrated service to clients working in all aspects of commercial real estate, acting for those operating within and outside their own country and advising on cross-border transactions.

As well as mainstream real estate work, we advise on opportunities for tax efficiency; complex investment structures, including real estate investment trusts, Limited Partnerships, unit trusts, open and closed ended funds; property finance; innovative financing methods; the impact of environmental law; construction law; planning law; and corporate structures.

Our real estate group is closely linked to the specialist expertise provided by our tax, finance and corporate lawyers, areas that are often integral to the structuring of major real estate projects.
