Hogan Lovells Cadwalader

Real Estate

Counsel

Chris Somorjay works with his institutional investor and pension fund clients to manage their real estate portfolios. Having worked with a number of his clients since he qualified with us in 2001, he combines his eye for detail and calm but tenacious approach with a deep understanding of their business needs.

Chris brings to the table extensive experience from across the commercial real estate sector, delivering high profile City office lettings for M&G and both shopping centre and science park acquisitions and disposals for the Mars UK and Dutch pension funds. Having also acted for a number of occupier clients, Chris has the perspective and acute commercial focus necessary to bring those complex multi-faceted deals to a close.

Finely attuned to industry trends, Chris makes sure his clients reap the benefits of his knowledge, whether he's leading initiatives to increase the speed of lease negotiations or drafting and launching 'green leases'.
