Trowers & Hamlins—Rahul Sagar

Banking and finance practice bolstered by partner hire

Trowers & Hamlins has appointed Rahul Sagar as a partner in its banking and finance practice, as part of its strategy to expand its capabilities in complex real estate finance and cross-border transactions.

Sagar joins from Morrison & Foerster, where he was of counsel, and brings 14 years’ experience advising banks, asset managers, alternative credit providers and hedge funds. His expertise spans real estate and structured credit transactions, including debt and equity investments across a range of strategies, often involving UK, European and US stakeholders.

Helen Fysh, head of banking and finance at the firm, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Rahul’ and noted that ‘his real estate finance experience aligns perfectly with our strategy to grow our banking and finance practice’.

Sagar said: ‘I am excited to join Trowers & Hamlins at a time when private capital is playing an increasingly central role in real estate’ and added that ‘the firm’s platform provides a strong foundation to support clients on complex, structured and cross-border transactions’.
