March 5, 2003 - New York, NY. Giuliani Partners LLC and CB Richard Ellis announced today the formation of a strategic alliance unique to the real estate industry, enabling them to serve their clients according to the emerging needs and demands in today's global environment.

Giuliani Partners will use its proven crisis management expertise to advise current and future CB Richard Ellis clients on complex business issues related to emergency preparedness, business continuity, security, fire safety, transportation, location and site assessment, and other vital business interests. In turn, CB Richard Ellis will offer Giuliani Partners clients an array of capabilities, including global real estate market knowledge; property, facilities and project management; appraisal services; and financing abilities.

Giuliani Partners is a management consulting firm founded by Rudolph W. Giuliani and staffed by his team of senior staff, many of whom served with him during his eight-year tenure as Mayor of New York City. CB Richard Ellis is the largest commercial real estate services company in the world.

Businesses have looked at these issues before, but over the past 18 months there is much more concern over safety and security, said Giuliani, the chairman and CEO of Giuliani Partners. As a result, they are looking to address these issues in a more systematic way and anticipate problems before they occur. Businesses now want to do a comprehensive assessment of their needs, ranging from economic viability, to quality-of-life and to safety and security, before they move to a different location.

“"Not only will our customers have the benefit of Giuliani Partners' diverse collection of talents and experience, but Giuliani Partners' recommendations will carry the imprimatur of people who have run the most complex city in the world at its most challenging time,” said Mary Ann Tighe, President and CEO of CB Richard Ellis New York Tri-State Region. The business world has evolved in recent years. It is no longer simply about going to the office each morning and leaving work behind at the end of the day. Today, the workplace interconnects with the larger social and economic environments. CB Richard Ellis and Giuliani Partners will work together to address many new and complex issues. Such issues include: ensuring the safety and enhancing the perception of safety of employees and understanding the financial implications, risks and rewards of a real estate plan.
