About

Provided by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz

Wachtell Lipton has a leading practice focused on M&A, corporate governance, activism defense, restructurings, spin-offs and other strategic transactions across the REIT, real estate, hospitality and gaming sectors. We consistently lead major transactions in these sectors, with particular emphasis on large-scale public company M&A.

We are ranked as the leading advisor on REIT M&A transactions, and over the last decade have completed over $500 billion of deals in the space. We were named Law360’s Real Estate Group of the Year for both 2024 and 2022.

In addition to our leading role in many of the most significant REIT mergers, buyouts and takeovers over the last two decades, we were also key advisors in the redevelopment of the World Trade Center and Little Island in Manhattan.

Our team writes and speaks frequently, including authoring the leading treatise on REITS: Mergers and Acquisitions, The Real Estate M&A and Private Equity Review, definitive articles in The Business Lawyer, and the other publications listed below and here. Our partners co-chair NYU’s and PLI’s annual conferences on REITs and REIT M&A.
