Jones Day's real estate practice often handles real estate aspects of M&A transactions, not least due to its close cooperation with the M&A team, and is also regularly instructed by lenders to structure industry-specific financing. For instance, Nicole Kadel routinely advises international investors on asset deals in the hotel, logistics and residential sectors, while Christian Trenkel assists funds and insurance companies across the interface of transaction and financing work. Trenkel complements this with expertise in asset management and tenancy law.
