Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A., represented an affiliate of Wellington Equestrian Partners in negotiating an agreement to sell the core assets of the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) in Wellington to the United States Polo Association (USPA).
The sale agreement encompasses 161 acres of polo facilities and amenities, including the fields, grandstand, pavilion, restaurants, clubhouse, swimming pool, gym, tennis courts and more.
The IPC, which hosts the annual U.S. Open Polo Championship, among other events, will be renamed the USPA National Polo Center – Wellington. In a statement, Lake Worth-based USPA said the agreement brings to life its vision for a USPA-owned “Sunday Field” that will serve as the permanent center for polo in the U.S.
The Greenberg Traurig team who represented WEP Polo Operations, the affiliate of Wellington Equestrian Partners, was led by Corporate Practice Shareholder Bruce C. Rosetto of the firm’s West Palm Beach office, working with Corporate Of Counsel Bracha Pollack, who is based in the firm’s Fort Lauderdale office.
