Shoosmiths LLP

Real Estate

Brian is a Partner with 20 years' experience in private sector commercial and mixed-use property investment, development, funding and leasing deals.  Most recently I have focused on managing real estate investment, financing and development transactions, both where these are property-led or part of a wider corporate transaction.

I have recently completed a Real Estate Economics and Finance course at the London School of Economics which has given me an insight into the rationale behind clients' real estate investment decisions.

My recent experience includes advising:

•  on the sale of a company that owns 47 industrial sites;

•  re-financing 44 industrial properties;

•  on the re-financing of 72 cash and carries;

•  development finance for 6 logistics depots in Greater London;

•  re-financing a portfolio of 7 retail parks.

I have been recognised personally in industry directories as “an investment specialist who is very strong on technical detail".

I studied Law and French at Queen's University Belfast and Université Catholique de Louvain la Neuve in Belgium before completing my training contract at Eversheds.
