Mills & Reeve is delighted to have been crowned Real Estate Team of the Year at the Legal Business Awards 2013 last night (7 February).
The award was recognition for its advice to long-standing client Trinity College Cambridge on its landmark investment in a 50 per cent stake in a portfolio of 11 Tesco stores across the UK worth £440 million but also testament to the quality of Mills & Reeve's Real Estate team.
The judges were looking for a standout example of real estate-related work and wanted to see evidence of cutting-edge advice on a high-profile matter.
Partner Michelle Cookson, who received the award, said: "We are thrilled to have won this award and proud to have been involved in such a ground-breaking deal with Trinity College Cambridge and Tesco. Real estate is a core practice area for Mills & Reeve and winning this award clearly demonstrates the quality of work we do, the clients we act for and our ambition to become a market leader in the real estate sector."
Clyde & Co, Gordons, Greenberg Traurig Maher, K&L Gates, Linklaters, RPC and Trowers & Hamlins were all highly commended. The win follows closely after our shortlisting for Property Team of the Year at last year's British Legal Awards.
