Dentons has been recognized as “Law Firm of the Year” for Central and Eastern Europe at the CEE Real Estate Quality Awards, which is sponsored in part by the Financial Times.
The award was based on the firm's string of high profile representations (including BlackRock’s sale of the Rondo 1 office tower in Warsaw -- reported on by CEE Legal Matters on April 8, 2014 -- and Tristan Capital’s acquisition of “Praha City Center” in Prague), and an impressive client base, including Blackstone, Starwood Capital, and CBRE Global Investors.
In a statement released by the firm, Dentons claims its Real Estate team "is handling a deal flow that has exceeded pre-financial peaks." Eric Rosedale and Evan Lazar, Co-Chairs of Dentons’ Global Real Estate Group, stated that “Dentons’ CEE real estate practice is one of our global ‘gems’, with an outstanding institutional client base working in a remarkably dynamic and resilient region.” And Pawel Debowski, Co-Chair of the European Real Estate Group, who accepted the award on behalf of Dentons’ 130-member CEE Real Estate team, remarked “this was our group’s fourth consecutive recognition as the top real estate legal team in the region, cementing our reputation as the undisputed market leader in Central Europe.”
