Real estate sector
In recent years the profile of participants and transaction types in the real estate sector in Ireland has changed significantly. Many international investors utilising a range of alternative investment platforms have entered the market, following opportunities to invest in high quality portfolios of assets. Much activity has centred around the sale and acquisition of assets and property loan portfolios, the restructuring of loan and property portfolios and real estate dispute resolution.
