Shoosmiths has appointed Jasvinder Sahotay as a partner in the firm’s London commercial real estate team.
Sahotay, who joins from Steptoe International (UK), has extensive experience in advising on major domestic and cross-border commercial real estate transactions.
Liam Phillips, partner and head of London real estate at Shoosmiths, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Jasvinder into the real estate team. He’s a perfect fit not only for bringing considerable experience within the real estate sector, but also for delivering the high quality, client-centred service expected at Shoosmiths.
“Jasvinder’s hire is a significant step in our firm’s 2030 strategy, bringing an extraordinary technical ability and commercial approach to real estate transactions – particularly those involving data centre and senior living assets. Both are expected to see a significant expansion, and at Shoosmiths, we expect our practice to be at the heart of this progress.”
Sahotay added: “Shoosmiths’ ambitions for growth in both sectors highlighted to me a firm that’s looking to exceed its excellent reputation in the UK commercial real estate market. The firm was already well known to me for its specialist expertise and collaborative ethos, and I look forward to contributing meaningfully to both the culture of the firm and to the growth of its commercial real estate practice.”
