Adam specialises in commercial property transactions and began his career practising in New York as in-house counsel for a real estate investment fund. He advises on all aspects of property investment, development, leasing, management and financing.
Adam acts for a broad range of clients across all asset classes, from pension funds and sovereign investors to hotels and technology start-ups.
Adam has been amazing in his work on behalf of the Berjaya Hotel Group here in the U.K. He patiently listens to all legal issues we face whilst keeping our commercial interest in mind. Whenever a related non-legal issue arises, he always points us in the right direction to obtain the advice we need. I would recommend Adam Cornbloom wholeheartedly as a fantastic real-estate solicitor.
