The global law firm Jones Day has announced its continued expansion in Germany with the addition of Christian Trenkel, who joins the Firm as a real estate partner in Munich.
An attorney since 2002, Mr. Trenkel’s clients include international and domestic investors including open- and closed-ended funds, sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, private equity firms, family offices, and asset managers, as well as international financial institutions and alternative financing providers. He also has extensive experience in tenancy law, restructurings of real estate investments and loans, nonperforming loan transactions, enforcement of security over real estate, and in advising clients on asset, property, and facility management agreements.
“We are particularly happy that Christian has decided to join the Firm,” said Ansgar Rempp, Jones Day’s Germany Partner-in-Charge. “He brings broad experience to Jones Day and will be a valuable asset as he contributes to our transactional practice as part of our real estate team.”
“Christian has a proven ability to effectively serve many types of clients in the real estate sector,” said David Roberts, the London-based co-leader of Jones Day’s Real Estate Practice. “That kind of versatility, along with his loan and investment restructuring experience, will make him an important resource for Jones Day clients in Germany and throughout Europe. We are very pleased that he decided to join us.”
In 2015, Jones Day’s German real estate team, now comprising 15 attorneys, oversaw transactions with a total value of more than €1 billion for clients including Blackstone, BNP Paribas, CBRE Global Investors, Hansteen Holdings, IVG, Savills Investment Management, Signature Capital, and Union Investment. The German real estate practice was also involved with two of the year’s largest hotel portfolio transactions as an advisor to Goldman Sachs and Pandox.
“With Christian on board, we will continue to expand our real estate transactions practice, which is already one of the most prominent in Germany,” added Mr. Rempp. “More generally, this is another indication that Germany—and the many areas of practice served by our attorneys here—remains a key part of Jones Day’s continuing success in Europe.”
