London, Monday 24 November 2025 – Shoosmiths is pleased to announce the appointment of Jasvinder Sahotay as Partner in London’s Commercial Real Estate team.
Jasvinder joins from Steptoe International (UK), bringing extensive experience in advising on major domestic and cross-border commercial real estate transactions. His broad and sophisticated practice spans significant acquisitions and disposals, complex development projects, and high-value joint venture arrangements.
A substantial part of Jasvinder’s work centres on operational real estate, where he has developed deep expertise in both the senior living and data centre sectors. He supports clients in navigating the complex regulatory, operational, and contractual challenges that characterise these asset classes. His work includes several high-profile and widely reported developments, advising on major senior living schemes and strategic data centre expansions that have attracted considerable institutional investment. Jasvinder’s recent experience includes advising a senior living operator on multiple major acquisitions and joint venture arrangements, as well as acting for a Fortune 500 multinational company on the real estate aspects of its data centre portfolio.
Shoosmiths Partner and Head of London Real Estate, Liam Phillips, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Jasvinder into the Real Estate team. He’s a perfect fit not only for bringing considerable experience within the real estate sector, but also for delivering the high-quality, client-centred service expected at Shoosmiths.
“Jasvinder’s hire is a significant step in our firm’s 2030 strategy, bringing an extraordinary technical ability and commercial approach to real estate transactions – particularly those involving data centre and senior living assets. Both are expected to see a significant expansion, and at Shoosmiths, we expect our practice to be at the heart of this progress.”
Commenting on his appointment, Jasvinder said: “Shoosmiths’ ambitions for growth in both sectors highlighted to me a firm that’s looking to exceed its excellent reputation in the UK commercial real estate market. The firm was already well known to me for its specialist expertise and collaborative ethos, and I look forward to contributing meaningfully to both the culture of the firm and to the growth of its commercial real estate practice.”
