Charles Russell Speechlys LLP’s real estate finance practice is defined by its cross-disciplinary approach, frequently drawing on the firm’s real estate, construction, and tax teams to advise on both domestic and international transactions. This integrated service is led by Daniel Sullivan, who often works with international property developers on the financings of  residential, logistics, and student accommodation assets. The team has been strengthened by James Walton, who brings considerable experience in complex loan structures, including mezzanine and combined loan facilities, as well as loan restructurings.
