Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker has completed its first deal for real estate investment company Beacon Capital Partners – advising on its £208m acquisition of 33 Grosvenor Place.

The US firm was instructed by the Boston-based fund manager in November with the deal closing on 19 December.

It won the mandate through its links with Beacon Capital's senior managing director, Paul Parkinson, who joined from longstanding Paul Hastings client Apollo Real Estate.
