Charles Russell Speechlys—Ed Morgan

Corporate real estate and funds expertise expands with partner hire

Charles Russell Speechlys has appointed Ed Morgan to its corporate team in London. Morgan joins from Fladgate LLP, bringing more than two decades of experience in funds and real estate. He has advised on complex investment and development structures, joint ventures and private M&A, and is known for his work on major transactions involving both UK and international assets.

Morgan’s recent work includes advising on landmark London properties such as 30 St Mary Axe (the Gherkin), 100 Bishopsgate, and One Hyde Park, as well as on the UK’s most expensive residential sale. His clients include asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, family offices and high-net-worth individuals, reflecting the Firm’s growing focus on private capital and cross-border investment.

David Collins, partner and head of the firm’s business advisory and transaction services division, said: ‘Ed is an exciting addition for us... he brings a wealth of experience advising asset managers, sovereign wealth funds and high-net-worth individuals, particularly in the real estate sector, an area where we have long been strong.’ He added that Morgan’s international experience ‘will be invaluable as we continue to grow across key markets’.

Commenting on his move, Ed Morgan said: ‘I am delighted to be joining Charles Russell Speechlys... the Firm is a real estate heavyweight and extremely well-regarded in private wealth and private capital. Its growth internationally makes this a particularly exciting time to join.’
