Herbert Smith has a reputation for executing the largest and most complex real estate deals with accuracy and at speed. Many are the first of their kind.
As a heavyweight independent practice within a top international firm, our real estate division is often the driver of transactions in which our first class corporate, finance and tax lawyers play important supporting roles.
Our client base, spread between owners, developers and institutional investors, “reads like a Who’s Who of the property industry”.
Together with our Paris office and alliance partners Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe we have formed a European real estate group. The three firms work together with the aim of providing a one-stop service for clients in the European real estate market.
