About

A subsidiary of TwentyTwo Real Estate, Scaprim is a major real estate player in its own right, and its compact but extremely capable legal team has proved an indispensable component of the company’s success time and again. Julie Duvivier joined the TwentyTwo Real Estate group in 2017 in order to organise and manage a dedicated legal department and now leads the team. ‘Corporate law and regulatory matters of the group, which were initially supervised by the company secretary have progressively been transferred to the legal team, the activity of which is now two-fold: corporate and regulatory matters on one hand and real estate matters on the other hand’, Duvivier says. In addition to this, the team has had a major transactional footprint, given the activity of the company in this area recently: ‘TwentyTwo Real Estate has recently sold its portfolio of French logistics assets to GreenOak Real Estate’s European Logistics Fund. The legal team was involved in all the steps of the transaction, including structuring, negotiation of the legal documentation, follow up of the closing and the post-closing matters’. When discussing her team, Duvivier says: ‘The legal team is strongly business-oriented and is an integral part of all the investment and management teams. Looking forward, the increasing global outlook of the Group, along with the diversification of its portfolio and investors will require expansion in the in-house legal team in order to support its growth and manage all legal aspects in an ever-more complex legal environment’.
