Before his recent retirement from “Big Law”, Bruce enjoyed a 30+ year tenure as a partner at Hogan Lovells, including stretches as the Global and US head of real estate and hospitality, and as a member of the firm’s executive and operating committees. In his continuing practice, focused on luxury hotels and resorts, he has the same notable clients and some formidable new ones. Bruce serves as principal and special real estate counsel to sophisticated real estate owner, investor, and operator clients, and is very skilled at negotiating and drafting legal agreements for international luxury hotel, resort and other real estate projects (such as acquisitions, sales, ventures, financings, leases, development agreements and hotel management, branding, license and franchise agreements, including for branded residences).

Many of his transactions have involved representing the developers and owners of iconic hotels and resorts. Bruce genuinely enjoys what he does (which is why he is still doing it), and he is fun to work with.
