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.

“In a real coup for the firm, following a competitive tender, the US government instructed Mark Bryan and Neil Sagoo's impressive team on the acquisition of a five-acre site for a new embassy building in Wandsworth. The firm also handled the sale of the US government's current Grosvenor Square premises, which was one of the highest-value single property transactions in the past year.”
