Global law Firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Mergers & Acquisitions Practice and Global Real Estate Industry Group with the addition of Ian Bevan as a partner in Abu Dhabi.
"Ian has a strong reputation in the market as one of the pre-eminent real estate lawyers in the Middle East and is viewed as a long term and trusted legal advisor by his clients," said White & Case partner Victoria Landsbert, co-head of the Firm's Global Real Estate Industry Group. "Ian's pragmatic approach combined with his regional expertise will support our cross-border work and allow us to continue providing specialist top tier advice to our clients in the UAE and wider Middle East region."
Ian has significant experience across a broad range of commercial real estate transactions. He has advised on cross-border real estate funds, property financings and joint ventures as well as some of the largest real estate development projects in the Middle East. His experience includes hotel management and franchise arrangements, sales and acquisitions (including sale and leaseback and opco/propco structures), development transactions and mergers and acquisitions in the real estate and hospitality sectors. Ian joins White & Case from A&O Shearman, where he was partner and head of Middle East real estate and hospitality, and brings nearly 25 years of experience.
White & Case partner and Vice Chair Oliver Brettle said: "Our Global Real Estate Industry Group advises leading clients across the globe, clearly demonstrated by significant recent deals such as guiding Cathexis Holdings on its sale of Yondr Group and Netrality Data Centres on its US$600 million financing. Ian's addition to White & Case adds further bench strength to our practice."
