Baker McKenzie has announced that Hong Kong-based special counsel Eva Hucker will be the new director of its global corporate real estate practice.
The role has been newly created to underpin Bakers’ plan to grow that practice, with a focus on the firm’s prioritised industries, including consumer goods and retail and TMT.
Hucker has advised multinational companies on the acquisition, sale and leasing of commercial, retail, industrial and rural properties, and assists clients in the negotiation of development, preservation and procurement documents. She has spent six years in Bakers’ Sydney office, two years in San Francisco, and the past four years in Hong Kong.
Baker McKenzie was named Real Estate Law Firm of the Year at the Macallan ALB Hong Kong Law Awards last year.
