| The Lawyer - The Hot 100 2010 |
|
| We are delighted that Neil Sagoo is named as one of the Hot 100 and appears under the category of Infrastructure. Below is the extract from The Lawyer: |
|
| It is fair to say that, as far as clients in the property world go,
the US State Department possibly ranks as one of the least
run-of-the-mill. In a major coup for property boutique
Maples Teesdale, commercial property partner Neil Sagoo
picked up a role advising the US client on the sale of the US
Embassy at Grosvenor Square to Qatari Diar and its move to
a location south of the river. In seeing it transfer to a vast
high-security site bordering the Thames, the move is not just
transformational for the client but also for Sagoo, who has
seen his book of business enriched considerably as a result. |
