Our REIT clients require some of the most sophisticated tax and investment structures in the world. Clients include existing public and private REITs, as well as real estate owners, operators and developers, pension fund advisors, pension funds, and foreign investors, looking to unlock the value of the REIT structure.

Sullivan's clients include many of the most prominent public REITs located throughout the U.S. and beyond. By equity market capitalization, we represent approximately 15 percent of the U.S. public equity REIT market.

Our REIT practice group has extensive experience in virtually every aspect of the industry.
