Recently, Milbank LLP celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its Real Estate Group with a client event. Erwin Dweck, Practice Group Leader of Milbank’s Real Estate Group, reflects on a decade of the team’s strategic growth, client partnership and market trends that have shaped the industry in this article.
Ten years ago, Milbank embarked on an effort to rebuild a real estate practice that had a storied history but was in need of renewed momentum. A decade is long enough to stop calling something a startup, and long enough to know which of your early bets were wrong.
Since then, Milbank’s real estate team has worked on acquisitions, debt and equity financings and restructurings that add up to tens of billions of dollars. That volume and varied perspective gives you a view from everywhere in the capital stack at once, which most firms simply don’t have.
