Charles Russell Speechlys LLP‘s strengths lie at the intersection of tax and real estate financing, with a particular focus on prime London residential properties as well as local residential property in Hong Kong and commercial leasing to corporate occupiers. Team members also assist clients with mandates relating to residential and commercial property investments. Increasingly the group is assisting real estate clients with ESG matters. The practice can be broadly divided into two branches; team head Simon Green leads the practice out of Hong Kong and focuses on international property matters, particularly relating to the UK, while Ian Devereux and Jovanne Zee focus on local property matters.
