Hogan & Hartson is preparing to move its market-leading US real estate investment trusts (Reits) practice to London. The 16-partner practice is based primarily in Washington DC, although it has partners based in New York, North Virginia, Warsaw and Berlin. With this strategic move, Hogan & Hartson is aiming to take advantage of the fact that listed property investment companies are now being introduced in the UK. In the US, the firm has handled some of the largest Reits cases including the $8.9 billion acquisition of Trizec by Brookfield Properties.
