It marks a conclusion to one of the most high-profile cases in UK real estate in recent years. The established collaborative working relationship we have with Annington was essential to the successful outcome." William Densham, Partner, commented: "The settlement is a monumental achievement, and working with Annington over many years and at completion of this process has been a pleasure. The scale, complexity and profile of the deal required careful coordination across multiple teams, and I’m proud of how the entire Eversheds Sutherland team worked together to ensure its successful completion."
