Christian is a partner in Browne Jacobson’s real estate team. He has extensive experience in advising investors, developers and operators in relation to all of their real estate needs in the UK. He is recognised as a Leading Partner for real estate in The Legal 500 UK and described as a “stand-out lawyer”.
For institutional and private real estate funds, Christian acts on the whole lifecycle of commercial and residential assets and portfolios: their acquisition, financing, development, letting, management and disposal. In transactional terms, his focus is on efficient deal execution; in advisory terms it is on adding value through solving complex issues.
For leading corporate operators, Christian has built up a 'go-to' practice. His clients include finance houses, technology companies and fashion brands and he has acted on the establishment of many headquarter type locations, as well as their subsequent operation and expansion. Many of these clients are from overseas and Christian is well able to guide them through the UK processes and practices.
