The Real Estate Funds & Structuring team is a specialist group of dedicated tax, corporate, real estate, finance and regulatory experts - all the essential ingredients required for this dynamic area. Providing a partner-led service, the team advises both start-ups and established fund managers on every step in the funds life cycle - from the design and formation of tax-efficient, fundable structures to the promotion of interests in a fund, the refinancing of sites, transfer or sale of investor interests and the ultimate end of the fund – in whatever shape that might take!

Committed to finding creative legal solutions to help clients maximise their investment returns, its lawyers have a reputation for consistently 'going to great lengths to prove once again... [they] understand what clients want and makes sure it is delivered'.

For international investments, the team has access to a network of tried and tested contacts across the globe - but is equally at home working alongside a local law firm already familiar with the client. Wragge & Co's Paris office also has a specialist team of funds experts, including tax specialist, partner Pierre Appremont and regulated specialist property investment funds expert, partner Arnaud Guerin.

The Real Estate Funds & Structuring team is an active member of the Institute of Public Finance and sits on the taxes sub-committee of the British Property Federation. Its experts also respond to government consultations on industry-relevant topics including property authorised investment funds and the planning gain supplement.

Clients include CB Richard Ellis Investors, Development Securities, Parkridge, LaSalle Investment Managers, Buccleuch and GPT Halverton.
