Why choose our Real Estate Finance lawyers?

We act for domestic and international banks, non-bank lenders, borrowers, investors and service providers. The deals on which we act range from straightforward secured commercial loans, to some of the most sophisticated and structured deals in the market. The breadth of our client base combined with the range of deals we act on allows us to see the market from a broad perspective, unlike many of our competitors.

Our Real Estate Finance team is diverse, with excellent bench strength carefully built up over the years and with a culture of technical excellence.

We have a reputation for first class client service, which can be delivered through a number of different models, from a partner-led service by recognised leaders in the industry, to a more commoditised approach using outsourcing and the latest IT solutions.

In addition to the typical secured real estate financing transactional work, we are increasingly involved advising on loan on loan financings, debt structuring, restructuring and on special situations, where we involve other experts from the firm (including our leading tax and insolvency practices).

We are committed to and are passionate about real estate finance and, in addition to servicing our clients, we are involved with various industry bodies, proactively driving thought leadership and the development of the real estate finance markets.
