Introduction
Whether the introduction of the REIT regime in the UK, the Global Financial Crisis, BREXIT or the impact of COVID-19, the real estate and infrastructure markets have faced different challenges over the last 20 years, and Wyvern’s team have been at the forefront of advising clients throughout.
In addition, all of our senior team members have been personally involved in leading investment funds or property companies as principals during that period and are therefore able to engage with Wyvern’s clients with a uniquely empathetic perspective among corporate advisors in the sector.
In addition to advising traditional companies in established areas of the real estate and infrastructure markets, we also enjoy working with innovators and disruptive PropTech companies, including those involved with implementing AI, introducing fractionalisation or utilising blockchain and tokenisation.
Our Services
At Wyvern, our experienced team of senior bankers have been through all types of transaction many times.
We have led deal teams on public and private M&A, both sell side and buy side, IPOs, secondary equity placings, private fundraisings, debt underwriting and restructurings, development appraisals, portfolio acquisitions and disposals, and corporate governance and investor relations advisory projects.
