With a strong domestic offering which is led by the vastly experienced Martine Gerber-Lemaire, and also well-placed to draw upon ‘valuable international insights’ by virtue of the firm’s vast global network, Dentons can provide ’solutions-oriented and pragmatic advice’ to developers, investors and end users on both local and cross-border mandates. Gerber-Lemaire ‘knows the real estate sector inside out’ and is consequently able to provide ’tailor-made and practical solutions’ for clients on the acquisition/disposal, funding and investment fronts of work relating to major domestic office space, in particular. Senior counsel Christel Dumont is praised for her ‘high level of responsiveness and quality of service’ on new money property mandates, as well as for debtors and creditors in real estate insolvency matters.
