Linklaters has hired Allen & Overy’s Mark O’Neill for its real estate finance practice.
O’Neill joins as a partner at Linklaters after nearly 20 years with Allen & Overy, where he has been head of the real estate finance group since 1998 and has covered a variety of different transactions, from acquisition financing to securitisation.
Tony Bugg, global head of banking at Linklaters, says: “Mark is widely recognised as one of the pre-eminent real estate finance practitioners in the European market, and we are delighted to have him on board.
We have had significant growth in the amount of high quality REF work we have advised on in recent years and we are committed to developing the broader real estate sector. We’re excited by Mark’s hire and are confident that he will help us go from strength to strength.”
