(Next Generation Partners)Despite a challenging fundraising year, Greenberg Traurig, LLP‘s specialist real estate funds team has gone from strength to strength in the real estate private equity and credit space, continuing to advise clients across the full fund lifecycle. Praised as ‘hardworking, technically strong and collaborative‘, the team is also noted for its capability in secondaries. The practice benefits from the expertise of Steven Cowins, who helps to establish funds and joint ventures, as well as secure portfolio M&A deals. Marc Evan Snell is presently leading a number of the firm’s key fundraisings and investment transactions. Tom Dear centres on fund formations, acquisitions and disposals, and joint ventures. Tim Dolan, who joined the practice from Reed Smith LLP in January 2023, is noted for his experience in financial services regulation.
