For our July cover story, The Real Deal‘s Rich Bockmann and Mark Maurer went behind the scenes at Cushman & Wakefield, which filed a preliminary prospectus for its initial public offering last month.
The leadup to the brokerage’s IPO has caused immense internal disorder and confusion, insiders told TRD. This could spell trouble for Cushman, which is banking on a successful Wall Street debut to help offload some of the $3B in debt TPG Capital dumped on the firm following a series of mergers and acquisitions.
TRD’s senior content director Jill Noonan sat down with Maurer and Bockmann to talk about the state of the firm, morale among its brokers and more in the video above.
