About

Provided by Katten

In today's real estate markets, the ability to minimize cost while maximizing investment potential is a true differentiator. Katten's UK Real Estate group provides sophisticated investors with strategic and tactical advice across a broad array of asset and corporate real estate transactions. Whether it involves major development projects, buying and selling assets, channeling capital into London from around the globe, managing complex occupier arrangements, or putting together intricate finance packages, we support clients across the entire real estate asset class and life cycle.


We are especially adept at deals that are complex, that require speedy execution and closing, or that require coordinating multiple stakeholders with competing interests. With an eye always on the exit strategy, our team is known for its ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams to help clients get their deals over the line on time and on budget.

Our broad knowledge of modern transactions, acquired through long-term client relationships, gives us a 360-degree view of the market, advising and coordinating all the key players — from private equity sponsors and funds, institutional investors, property companies, and hotel owners and operators to pension funds, occupiers and developers — on all the key issues.
