Linklaters Adds U.S. Real Estate Offering in Further Expansion of Corporate Platform
Yelena Nersesyan Joins New York Office as Counsel
Linklaters is pleased to announce that Yelena Nersesyan has joined the firm’s New York office as a counsel in the Corporate group, launching the firm’s Real Estate offering in the U.S. Yelena continues the growth of our U.S. offering for corporate clients, following the arrival of a market-leading six-lawyer New York M&A team led by George Casey earlier this year.
Yelena works with clients on real estate matters for corporate and restructuring transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments, and corporate finance. She also advises clients on joint ventures, acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, financing and refinancing of commercial real estate properties, including hotels, retail, industrial sites, office buildings and multifamily housing throughout the U.S.
"We are thrilled to welcome Yelena Nersesyan to Linklaters as part of our strategic corporate expansion in the U.S.,” said Casey. “Yelena’s deep understanding of complex real estate transactions and her ability to navigate multifaceted corporate structures will greatly benefit our clients. Her contributions will be invaluable as we continue to build on our tradition of excellence in serving corporate clients across diverse sectors and geographies."
This follows another recent hire for Linklaters as Shruti Chopra joined as Counsel in the TMT/IP and Data Solutions practice in New York. The firm has made a series of other significant hires in the U.S. over the past 18 months, including across energy & infrastructure, financial regulation, capital markets, tax, executive compensation & employee benefits, environmental and other areas complementary to the firm’s corporate offering.
Linklaters has a pre-eminent global M&A practice, with over 650 M&A lawyers advising clients across the globe on their most complex and important transactions. The firm is Band 1 ranked by Chambers for Corporate/M&A in the UK, Europe, and Asia, as well as for Global Multi-Jurisdictional Corporate/M&A. In 2023, our global M&A team handled over 220 M&A deals worth a total of $136 billion.
