Law that protects commercial objectives in the Real Estate & Construction sector.
Real estate development, construction, leasing, sales, zoning, due diligence, contractor agreements and dispute processes. Zoning and permit procedures, land registry steps, construction-for-land-share and FIDIC-type contractor agreements, and defect and delay disputes are managed against the project timeline.
The applicable legal framework in the Real Estate & Construction sector
Real estate and construction projects carry land, zoning, permitting, financing, contractor, tenant and investor relationships all at once. For successful project management, legal risks must be made visible at the outset of the transaction.
We advise investors, developers and contractors on due diligence, promise-to-sell agreements, leases, flat-for-land construction arrangements, EPC, FIDIC, zoning and title-deed transactions, as well as dispute processes.
