Goodwin Procter's real estate investment management attorneys have helped clients deploy more than $43 billion in the real estate market in recent years. In March 2009, Goodwin Procter was named "North American Law Firm of the Year (Transactions)" and, for the second consecutive year, "North American Law Firm of the Year (Fund Formation)" by Private Equity Real Estate magazine.
We're transaction counsel to many of the leading real estate investment managers, real estate operating companies and real estate investors in the United States. Attorneys in our practice structure and close a wide variety of real estate transactions across all asset classes, including single property and portfolio acquisitions, complex debt transactions, debt acquisitions, equity joint ventures, and workouts, restructurings and other distressed situations.
The firm's transactional attorneys partner closely with our fund formation attorneys. As a result, we're especially aware of the tax, ERISA, REIT compliance, bankruptcy and securities issues that challenge today's sophisticated private equity real estate investors.
Our Real Estate Investment Management Practice operates within a larger cross-disciplinary team of nationally recognized legal specialists in Goodwin Procter's Real Estate, REITs & Real Estate Capital Markets Group. Through an integrated approach and a commitment to the industry, we stay on top of the latest developments in the real estate capital markets, and help our clients achieve their transactional objectives.
