About

Frédéric Vern has been part of the real estate industry since his first role as a lawyer at Freshfields (2002), which he continued at Mayer Brown where he dealt with real estate and capital markets. In 2010 he utilised his experience to move in-house for Ivanhoé Cambridge, a global leader in real estate, M&A and capital markets. His efforts have been noted in his excellent track record in negotiations of transactional operations covering a range of arrangements in sales and acquisitions. Through his expert support, Vern has made the management of an estimated 20 operations possible in a period of only four years. He ensures the legal implementation and safety of all the group’s European portfolios ranging between office and retail space, only made possible by his ability to overcome the challenges of the differences in transaction ethics across European jurisdictions. His highlighted achievements include the acquisition of property companies’ share capital such as Gécina, and lease re-negotiations with world renowned entities such as GDF Suez (now Engie). Vern in addition participates as the master of conference with Sciences-Po Paris, an international research university, since 2013.
