Global asset management firm, Gordon Brothers, has announced the establishment of a Real Estate Services division in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Led by industry veterans Ben Lovell (senior director, Real Estate), Daniel Smith (director, Real Estate), and Richard Maden (director, Real Estate), the new team brings a combined 50+ years of experience in the real estate sector.
Previously with Avison Young, the trio will focus on providing comprehensive real estate solutions to businesses and their advisors navigating restructuring and recovery challenges. Gordon Brothers' expanded service offering now encompasses a wide range of assets, including real estate, machinery, inventory, and intellectual property.
The new practice will offer strategic advice, valuation, property sales, portfolio optimization, lease restructuring, and asset management services.
Mark Newton-Jones, head of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at Gordon Brothers, said: ‘Launching a Real Estate Services practice in EMEA is a natural extension of the successful model already established for clients in the U.S. and strengthens our position as the leading global asset experts combining unparalleled advice with multi-jurisdiction, multi-asset and multi-service solutions.’
Ben Lovell added: ‘We are excited to join Gordon Brothers and bring the breadth and depth of our real estate expertise to clients in EMEA. We look forward to partnering with the wider team across the firm’s existing capabilities in asset services, asset lending and asset trading to provide asset-based solutions that minimise risk and maximise opportunity for our clients throughout the business cycle.’
Boston-based Gordon Brothers has 30 offices across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific.
