Greenberg Traurig's London Real Estate Finance Team Achieves Record Year, Promotes William Lo to Shareholder

April 24, 2026 - 11:46

Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s London Real Estate Finance practice has achieved a landmark year, advising on a series of high-value transactions with a combined total exceeding several billion pounds. The team’s performance marks a significant milestone for the firm’s European operations, reflecting sustained demand for cross-border real estate capital and complex financing structures.

The record-breaking activity was driven by a surge in refinancing mandates, development finance, and investment-grade acquisitions across the UK and continental Europe. Key deals included advising on the restructuring of a major London office portfolio and facilitating a multi-jurisdictional debt package for a large-scale logistics development. The team’s ability to navigate volatile interest rates and evolving regulatory frameworks was cited as a critical factor in its success.

In recognition of his contributions to this growth, the firm has promoted William Lo to shareholder. Lo, who joined Greenberg Traurig in 2018, has been instrumental in advising institutional lenders, private equity funds, and real estate developers on complex debt transactions. His practice focuses on acquisition financing, senior and mezzanine lending, and structured real estate investments.

“William’s elevation reflects both his exceptional legal acumen and the strength of our London platform,” said a firm spokesperson. “This record year underscores our commitment to delivering top-tier counsel in the real estate finance sector across the EMEA region.” The announcement comes as the firm continues to expand its global real estate practice, with London serving as a key hub for cross-border capital flows.
