LONDON, BERLIN, WARSAW and AMSTERDAM – 4 March 2019 – The European Fund Formation team at global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP was recently announced as Law Firm of the Year for Fund Formation in PERE magazine’s 2018 Global Awards.
According to the leading publication for the world’s private equity real estate markets, the PERE Global Awards recognise the firms, individuals, and deals that best represent the private equity real estate asset class in the past year. After accepting nominations in November, PERE evaluated the forms alongside research from the most active capital providers, managers, and advisors before choosing the nominees and opening voting in December.
Greenberg Traurig’s European Fund Formation team is comprised of more than 60 fund formation specialists providing clients a true sector focused legal offering. “Our team is committed to understanding and meeting our clients’ needs as well as providing a responsive and helpful approach to ensure those needs are met,” said Steven Cowins, a shareholder in the firm’s London office. “This award demonstrates our team’s standing in the market which is driven by our commitment to client service.”
The integrated private equity real estate team is part of a 400 plus global network of real estate sector specialists advising asset managers around the world, serving clients from key markets in Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Latin America, and Asia.
