Greenberg Traurig Germany enjoys a good reputation for its advice on portfolio transactions and structuring real estate funds, while also focusing on industry-specific restructurings and asset management; for the latter segment, and in particular for the management of operator and hospitality properties, Martin Dobiáš is one of the key contacts. Both real estate transactions and developments fall within Florian Rösch's area of ​​responsibility, who heads the German real estate practice. He is supported by the co-head of the firm's global real estate team, Christian Schede, whose expertise covers real estate transactions in connection with cross-border M&A deals as well as stand-alone transactions and financing. Peter Schorling, co-head of the German corporate group, also acts across the M&A interface.
