Mayer Brown International LLP's real estate finance team works collaboratively with the firm's banking, real estate, and construction and engineering teams. This integrated approach is reflected in its joint leadership: Andrew Hepner heads up the real estate practice, advises alternative investment managers on term loan facilities, while banking and finance specialist David O’connor is a key contact for lenders on bank-funded transactions. The team’s deep technical knowledge is further demonstrated by Charles Malpass, who advises alternative investment firms on European restructurings and acquisitions. From the real estate team, Annabel Ersser frequently provides key support to Hepner on financing and refinancing facilities.
