Vikki McKay—Proskauer

Partner joins private equity real estate group in London

Proskauer has announced the arrival of Vikki McKay as a partner in the firm’s private equity real estate group in London.

Vikkis practice focuses on UK and cross-border investments in the real estate sector for private equity firms, large international companies and ultra-high net worth offshore individuals. She advises across a broad range of real estate investment classes, including logistics, office and leisure assets. Her move to the firm follows the recent addition of private equity real estate partner Joanne Owen in June, with whom Vikki worked closely with at her prior firm.

“It’s been a busy time since I joined Proskauer earlier this summer,” says Joanne Owen. “I’m delighted to reunite with Vikki, whose skillset complements our group, making her an invaluable asset to our clients.”

Vikki has represented a wide variety of clients, including representing a leading private equity firm in an acquisition that is considered one of the most geographically diverse logistics portfolios sold in Europe. She has also counseled pharmaceutical and international mining clients, among others, in various real estate matters.

“We are thrilled to welcome Vikki to our growing London office,” said Mary Kuusisto, head of Proskauer’s London office. “Her extensive experience within the private equity and real estate markets will further strengthen our bench of talent.”

Vikki received her undergraduate law degree with honors from Birmingham University and her graduate degree from Nottingham Law School. She joins the firm from DLA Piper.
