We see both sides of the deal before anyone else.

Finance and real estate teams move with the market. We track which groups are winning mandates and hiring ahead of them, usually well before a role is posted.

Two sides of the same deal. We place the attorneys who put the asset together and the ones who fund it, which means we see both sides of a hire before anyone else does.
