Real estate, energy and infrastructure-related transactions form the cornerstone of the practice at CMS, with the firm working for prominent clients such as Aldar Properties, E& and TAQA on M&A, joint ventures and restructurings. Team head John O'Connor is the key relationship partner to many of these clients and often acts on multi-jurisdictional deals. Graham Conlon has recently acted for sovereign wealth funds, investment firms, and international financial institutions on domestic and outbound transactions. Patrik Daintry has a broad understanding of GCC markets, particularly UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Hanna Uhlin and Josh Cosoff also come recommended.
