Partner promotion in London office

James Spence has been promoted to partner in the London office of Goodwin Procter.

James is a member of the firm’s real estate capital markets group and business law department. He joined Goodwin Procter in 2013.

James has a wide range of experience in the corporate elements of domestic and cross-border real estate investments and private M&A transactions. He acts for a variety of stakeholders across the real estate sector on all aspects of investments in European real estate, including structured sales and acquisitions, joint ventures, real estate funds, club deals and investment management mandates.

“We are delighted to welcome James to the partnership,” says David Evans, London Office chair. “His promotion is another step in the development of our European real estate capabilities, and follows the appointment of Richard Lever and Simon Fulbrook as partners in our private equity practice earlier this year.”
