Market report: real estate
IHL takes a look at the real estate issues set to keep in-house counsel up at night.
The world has been turned on its axis over the last few years of unprecedented economic, social and geopolitical disruption. Emerging trends and ongoing developments continue to take the real estate market by storm, and preparation will be the key to success for general counsel and senior in-house lawyers to combat these headwinds.
‘In the post-pandemic world, everyone’s in-house focus was sharpened,’ says Jane Edwarde, head of real estate and one of Slaughter and May’s diversity and inclusion partners. ‘There have always been global obstacles, now more than ever, and the in-house community needs to be prepared for battle at any moment. Corporates need to be thinking about how to survive these headwinds in a responsible and sustainable way’.
