The ‘client-centric’ team at Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP provides ’considered advice’ to stakeholders across commercial real estate projects regionally, nationally and globally. Renewable energy-related real estate work remains a core area of strength, with Geraint Pullin Thomas particularly noted for his solar expertise. James Trafford is also adept at handling energy-related matters, work which he combines with his overarching role as global real estate head. Leading the Cardiff real estate team, Andrew Burns focuses on infrastructure and transport matters, including a niche practice, on both the operator and landowner side, in the electric vehicle charging space. Other key team members include David Emberson, for logistics and industrial-related investor work; Gareth Ashfield, who excels at development and landlord and tenant matters; and Elizabeth Fevyer, for education-related real estate issues.
