On 27 May 2024, Commercial Real Estate (CRE), a leading industry magazine, published the ratings of the most influential people in the commercial real estate market. As in the previous year, Ekaterina Verle, Counsel and Co-Head of Real Estate and Construction Practice at EPAM Law, was included on the CRE 100 list.

The success of Ekaterina and the practice as a whole lies in their unique experience gained while supporting complex projects, as well as in the expertise of each member of EPAM’s Real Estate and Construction team which is constantly expanding. In 2023-2024, practice associates successfully implemented a number of landmark, large-scale real estate and construction projects, thereby earning the recognition of our clients, which called forth the high positions of the practice and its experts in various national rankings.

Our unique value lies in the fact that, when providing legal assistance, we solve not only individual client issues, but also address the more general problem of the market as a whole underlying the matters we are asked to resolve. This approach enables us to address the issues in a comprehensive manner.

Ekaterina efficiently advises clients on integrated territorial development, infrastructure projects, acquisition of industrial and warehouse facilities, development of tourist and recreational areas and actively engages in the legislative process.

“Over 20 years of practice, we have developed a really deep understanding of the real estate sector, current trends and acute problems. Despite the current challenges, the market is very dynamic which is made evident by the development of the warehouse and commercial real estate sectors, ongoing infrastructure and comprehensive development projects and growing interest in tourist and leisure facilities. And this means a great source of work for lawyers, including land legislation reform,” Ekaterina Verle says.
