Real estate sector

In recent years the profile of participants and transaction types in the real estate sector in Ireland has changed significantly. Many international investors utilising a range of alternative investment platforms have entered the market, following opportunities to invest in high quality portfolios of assets. Much activity has centred around the sale and acquisition of assets and property loan portfolios, the restructuring of loan and property portfolios and real estate dispute resolution.

We have Ireland’s top commercial property practice and has been at the forefront of ground-breaking, market-shaping property developments in Ireland for more than 20 years. The group represents both Irish and international investors, financial institutions, developers, asset managers and clients from all sectors.

We advise on the full range of commercial property issues - balancing the diverse strands of both typical and complex property transactions. We are recognised particularly for our breadth of service to the real estate industry and our ability to guide clients through the recent challenging and continually changing environment.

Our team particularly works alongside our banking and litigation teams to create project management solutions across practices for complex, large scale client assignments, where these three areas intersect.
