News in brief

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.
