Panoramic: Automotive and Mobility 2025
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have long been a tax efficient way to structure a company that owns real property. They are complex vehicles that require an advisor that has corporate, tax, and real estate experience in order to maximize the benefits of operating as a REIT.
From the largest, most transformative, and complex deals to the straightforward. We have been actively involved in every aspect of the industry for more than 20 years. And we invented many of the legal structures that have made REITs a success in the U.S.
Already working with more than 40 REITS and all major investment banks active in the industry, we can navigate and even anticipate your REIT-related legal issues worldwide.
