In a move that underscores its strategic expansion in the real estate sector, Greenberg Traurig has announced that Ankush Israni is joining the firm as a shareholder. He will be based in the firm’s Los Angeles office. This development is part of the firm’s broader effort to bolster its real estate practice, particularly in California.
Israni brings a wealth of experience to Greenberg Traurig, having represented a diverse array of clients, including lenders, investors, developers, and data center companies. His expertise spans across a range of complex real estate transactions on a national scale. Israni’s practice focuses on financings, joint ventures, acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and development projects. Such projects include but are not limited to multifamily residences, office spaces, retail operations, hotel chains, and industrial facilities, with a notable specialization in data centers.
Prior to joining Greenberg Traurig, Israni was associated with Jones Day, where he cultivated a robust practice in real estate law. His transition to Greenberg Traurig aligns with the firm’s goal of amplifying its capabilities in high-stakes real estate transactions and providing comprehensive counsel to its clients in the sector.
The addition of Israni is expected to enhance Greenberg Traurig’s competitive edge in a dynamic and evolving real estate market, particularly in the influential California region. His reputation for navigating intricate deals will likely be an asset to the firm as it seeks to deepen its client relationships and expand its footprint in the real estate industry.
