Lee & Associates Teams with UK-Based Gerald Eve to Form Strategic Partnership

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Lee & Associates (http://www.lee-associates.com/), the largest broker-owned commercial real estate firm in the nation, has joined Gerald Eve, a real estate advisory business headquartered in London, to form a strategic alliance that will allow Lee & Associates and Gerald Eve to service clients across both continents.

         The partnership will create a platform from which clients gain access to best in class services throughout Europe and North America.  Both firms will continue acting independently but through the strategic partnership, will collaborate and share resources on select existing clients in addition to pursuing future international business opportunities.

         “This is Lee & Associates first endeavor outside the United States. When the opportunity arose for a collaboration with Gerald Eve (https://www.geraldeve.com/), an outstanding group of European companies, we were thrilled to create this partnership and enhance our client services. Their track record and reputation earned in the UK and European business community is stellar. We believe this alliance will not only enable our firm to provide an important service that will benefit our clients with operations in Europe, but will enhance Gerald Eve’s outreach in the U.S.”

         Simon Prichard, senior partner at Gerald Eve, comments: “With the volume of transatlantic market activity, it is imperative to offer existing clients access to top flight services and advice.  In Lee & Associates we have found a trusted ally that is truly best in class across a range of complementary services.  This is an exciting alliance that will initially be led by corporate occupiers, but is likely to eventually apply in equal measure to capital markets.”
