Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Mergers & Acquisitions Practice and Global Real Estate Industry Group and Global Private Capital Industry Group with the addition of Eduard (Ed) Sheremeta as a partner in Tokyo.
"The White & Case Global Real Estate Industry Group has been at the forefront of the evolution of the real estate industry, having recently advised on deals such as the sale of Yondr Group, a developer of hyperscale data centres, and Netrality data centres on their US$605 million financing," said White & Case partner Victoria Landsbert, co-head of the Firm's Global Real Estate Industry Group. "Ed's addition to the team will further strengthen our real estate and infrastructure capabilities in Asia-Pacific and globally."
Ed advises debt and equity real estate investors on real estate transactions across Asia-Pacific, including acquisitions and dispositions, private equity and institutional investments, limited recourse and secured financings, fund financings, REITs, asset and property management, leasing and sale-leasebacks, real estate joint ventures, co-investment platforms, restructurings, non-performing loan portfolio management and general transaction structuring. He focuses in particular on transactions in Japan and China, advising asset managers, private equity groups, financial institutions and data center developers, among others. Ed joins White & Case from DLA Piper, where he was partner and co-head of real estate in Japan, and brings more than 25 years of experience.
White & Case Office Executive Partner in Tokyo Jun Usami said: "The global real estate industry continues to evolve, particularly in Japan where the transition to the digital economy has been accelerated by investments in real estate and infrastructure. Clients across the Asia-Pacific region are increasingly recognising the importance of real estate as a future-ready strategic asset class, and Eduard's experience advising clients both in Japan and China will allow our global team to help clients further capitalise on these opportunities."
