DLA Piper is welcoming back Joanne Owen as a partner in its London Real Estate practice on 4th November.

Jo returns to the DLA Piper Real Estate team practice from Proskauer. She is a highly experienced lawyer and very well known in the market. Her knowledge of complex, institutional and corporate property matters is extensive and she has a focus on advising private equity based clients, having been involved in numerous landmark transactions in the UK and internationally. Her clients include leading private equity houses, sovereign wealth funds and private high net worth investors and she regularly advises on cross border corporate real estate transactions.

Commenting on the appointment, UK Head of Real Estate, William Naunton, said:

""Jo has an outstanding reputation in the market, having worked on a number of heavyweight deals for high profile clients over recent years. Her return to the firm is a reflection of the strength of offering we have in the market and I know that she will be a huge asset to the team and to the value that we deliver to clients. Her appointment, alongside the recent appointment of Katie Jacobson as partner in the Birmingham office, is a clear illustration of the investment and commitment that the firm continues to make in the sector.""
