King & Spalding opened the Frankfurt, Germany office in 2007 in response to growing client demand in the areas of real estate capital markets, finance, corporate and tax. The office focuses on extending the firm’s real estate capital markets capacity in Europe and is expected to grow quickly to full-service status. The Frankfurt office is King & Spalding’s ninth worldwide location.
King & Spalding advises clients on European real estate investments made by or on behalf of funds or funds of funds, which span multiple jurisdictions, involve joint ventures, include portfolio transfers, require the formation of European fund investment vehicles and are geographically diverse. German expertise and experience, including corporate, tax and G-REIT/investment law experience, are critical components of those transactions.
King & Spalding's real estate practice group provides experienced and sophisticated advice on a complete range of commercial real estate transactions. Its real estate capital markets practice—one of the U.S. leaders in this field—has earned a reputation for its creative structuring of mergers and acquisitions and complex equity and debt financing transactions.
