Fladgate—Simon Chadowitz

City firm expands appoints new real estate partner

City law firm Fladgate has bolstered its real estate and private capital advisory capabilities with the appointment of Simon Chadowitz as partner.

Simon joins Fladgate from Mishcon de Reya, where he has spent the past 18 years specialising in high-value commercial and residential property investments, large-scale mixed-use developments, hotels, shopping centres, private members’ clubs, restaurants and bars.

He is an award-winning property lawyer, whose broad client list includes quoted corporates, established property companies, ultra-high net worth individuals and family offices from around the world.

In his new role, Simon will help Fladgate to expand its existing expertise in advising clients on all aspects of their real estate developments and investments.

Commenting on his appointment, Simon said: ‘In an ever-changing world, private capital clients consistently demand the highest levels of service and support from the best advisors who are both skilled and experienced in managing legal and commercial risk across a broad range of sectors, disciplines and territories.

‘To that end, I am excited to be joining Fladgate’s well-respected and fast-growing team as it continues to refine its advisory offering to private clients and cement its position as one of the UK’s leading real estate and private capital-focused legal practices. I am equally excited to work alongside Walgate to explore potential synergies and opportunities for enhanced client services that can be provided by its multi-family office platform.’
