Global coverage for a global asset class
Real estate is a large and complex global asset class. Our 500+ real estate lawyers located in major markets around the world understand every aspect of the real estate business and are distinctively positioned to help you achieve your business objectives with maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
Real estate is more than physical assets; it's about creating spaces for business and community. We advise on the full spectrum of real estate transactions, including development, finance, and leasing. Our global perspective helps you navigate market cycles and unlock the potential of your property portfolio.
AKD Partners is the best law firm I have worked with during my 20 years in the real estate industry. They consistently excel at quality of work, attention to detail, responsiveness, and efficiency. They are a great partner and my first choice when it comes to real estate law.
We handle all types of real estate and real estate-related matters, from multibillion-USD portfolio and M&A transactions to the acquisition, financing, joint venture formation, leasing and sale of individual properties. We also handle construction and design, planning/zoning and development, land use and related matters.
We have significant experience with cross-border and portfolio transactions. Our real estate sector team includes other experienced lawyers in capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, securities regulation, fund formation, finance, tax, employment and employee benefits, litigation, data privacy, intellectual property, restructuring, regulatory and environmental. We work seamlessly across practice groups to provide high-value services to clients across all segments of the commercial real estate industry.
A large percentage of our largest real estate clients have been clients for multiple decades. We believe that a successful client-lawyer relationship involves more than just the execution of individual transactions; rather, we create and nurture long-term partnerships with our clients in which we anticipate challenges and opportunities that may be on the horizon, and work with our clients to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities.
