Head of Real Estate Advisory

Ian Guthrie

I lead our real estate advisory practice. I'm a high-performing, strategic, and innovative senior leader with over 35 years’ experience, having overseen more than £30 billion of complex financial transactions across real estate, private equity, financial services (particularly banking) and the public sector.

I've worked in multiple jurisdictions, including the UK and continental Europe. These experiences exposed me to a broad range of businesses and cultures, as well as multiple economic cycles. Consequently, I have strong commercial awareness, technical, analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills.

The real estate team is dedicated to delivering a fully-integrated suite of services tailored to our clients' needs. These include debt advisory, corporate finance, M&A, loan advisory, due diligence, tax, and restructuring. By combining deep financial expertise with a comprehensive understanding of the real estate market, we provide high-quality advice and solutions for every challenge or opportunity.

We work across a broad spectrum of real estate sectors, including living, office, industrial, retail, and hotels, as well as higher and further education, healthcare, and other specialised areas.

Our clients include investors, developers, and operators as well as private equity sponsors, banks, and alternative non-bank lenders. 

Away from the office I enjoy spending time with family, including my granddaughter, and am a passionate football fan.
