Our firm, Rockpoint Group, is a real estate investment management company with approximately $10 billion in assets under management.  I first met partner Jesse Sharf and his colleagues at Gibson Dunn about twelve years ago and have done the vast majority of our legal work with the firm since then.  The Gibson Dunn real estate team has tremendous breadth and depth and has been an integral part of Rockpoint's success over the years.  While there are other firms that have comparable talent, Gibson Dunn distinguishes itself by truly thinking and behaving like a principal as opposed to a third party service provider.  Moreover, they are extraordinarily hard working and diligent; they are available whenever and wherever we need them. The nature of our business is to seek higher returning transactions, and hence we face situations that can often be quite complex. Gibson Dunn, time and time again, has helped us to flawlessly evaluate, negotiate and document such transactions involving almost all real estate types in the U.S., Europe and Asia. We truly view Gibson Dunn's real estate team as being part of our own team.
