About

Buyers and sellers of commercial property benefit from our knowledge of local markets and advice, which extends beyond the basic legal requirements. We also help to form joint ventures and special purpose vehicles for the development and acquisition of real estate. For companies and real estate investors seeking to expand or streamline their real estate portfolios, we work across borders and practice areas to overcome challenges and help them achieve their property objectives.
