Gerard LeCain
EXPERTISE
My role is to help organisations and entrepreneurs with their real estate interests, particularly in the fields of disposals, acquisitions and assignments, investment, development and leasing. I work closely with them to help realise their objectives, and resolve any challenges that put them at risk financially.
I benefit from working with investors, developers, landlords, and tenants. I also have a developing specialism in the retail, banking and technology sectors, as well as the specialised needs of manufacturing clients, whether they are leasing properties or operating their own purpose-built facilities.
Supporting this expertise is an understanding of real estate finance. I guide lenders and borrowers through the financing process, making sure they don’t miss out on any opportunities, while minimising their short and long-term risk.
