Greenberg Traurig Bolsters London Real Estate Team with Ben Patton

Patton’s appointment is designed to bridge the gap between early-stage development and project completion, working alongside infrastructure shareholder Richard Ceeney. His practice spans logistics, life sciences, and infrastructure, sectors where he is already recognized as a leading authority by both the Chambers UK and The Legal 500 guides. Beyond his advisory work, Patton serves on the Joint Contracts Tribunal drafting subcommittee, a role that keeps him at the forefront of industry standards.

His arrival marks the latest move in a broader growth strategy for the London office, which was recently named Real Estate Team of the Year at The Lawyer Awards 2026. Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum noted that the firm is prioritizing deep sector knowledge to handle increasingly complex cross-border transactions. This recruitment follows the recent additions of Simon Elliott, Patrick Williams, and Freya Dear, signaling a concerted effort to scale the firm's local capabilities to meet rising client demand for integrated development and delivery advice.
