Real Estate Lawyers

Globalisation, political changes, changing standards of living, increased digitalisation, changing consumer behaviour and remote working are just some of the issues that are transforming the demands on real estate.

The real estate market continues to evolve and attract different types of investment. Globally, the nature of metropolitan areas is changing as new generations choose to live differently and life expectancies increase. We see an increase in shared workspaces, co-living and e-commerce.

Whatever your opportunities or challenges may be, our team is specially designed to understand your business needs and advises companies at each stage of the real estate process.

We can help you shape your strategy, manage risks and make the most of business opportunities in these areas:

  • Housing and non-housing projects
  • Purchase, sale and sale and lease back of real estate assets
  • Structuring and negotiation of financing for real estate projects
  • Negotiation and execution of lease contracts and other forms of assignment of use or exploitation
  • Structuring and setting up investment vehicles
  • Negotiation and execution of construction contracts, architectural and engineering services and project management
  • Acquisition, development, operation and installation of tourist resorts
  • Signing protocols with municipalities
  • Promotion and monitoring of licensing procedures
  • Review of policies and implementation of appropriate training for property developers

We have an in-depth knowledge of how real estate and planning law apply in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
