Petar Orlic & Josip Stajfer—Faegre Baker Daniels

Firm strengthens London office with real estate and corporate hires

Faegre Baker Daniels has significantly reinforced its real estate and corporate offering with the addition of Petar Orlic and Josip Stajfer, joining from McGuireWoods.

Petar has joined as a partner, bringing extensive experience in all aspects of corporate real estate work. His practice is focused on commercial acquisitions and real estate finance both domestically and internationally. He also has a wealth of experience advising on real estate management in Europe. Petar has a wide range of clients from institutional investors to foreign and domestic banks; representing a significant number of U.S. banks and investment funds on multimillion-pound commercial real estate acquisitions. 

Petar will be supported by Josip, who joins the corporate team as an associate. He focuses on mergers and acquisitions, company formations and corporate reorganisations. Fluent in seven languages, Josip advises on all aspects of corporate finance. 

“There is increasing demand from both domestic and international clients looking to invest in real estate,” Petar says. “Faegre Baker Daniels as an international firm is well-placed to meet the growing need for real estate expertise both domestically and in Europe. I look forward to working with the team and helping further advance the firm’s real estate proposition.” 

“London is a global hub for real estate and property development,” said Paul Finlan, head of FaegreBD’s London office. “As an international firm with a global reach we are able to service worldwide clients with commercial real estate interests. We are thrilled to welcome Petar and Josip as we continue to focus on strategic growth in FaegreBD’s real estate offering.”
