Legal asset management

Legal clarity for stable, value-led property management

Professional asset management requires more than just economic management: It also needs legal clarity and security in all operational matters. We can provide you with comprehensive support in the legal management and optimisation of your real estate portfolio: from rental agreements and service provider contracts to resolving disputes in the portfolio. Our goal is stable tenancies, legally compliant processes and economically viable solutions over the entire life cycle of your properties.

Our clients include institutional investors, asset and property managers, fund managers and property-related companies with large portfolios. We provide advice on the following topics in particular:

  • Commercial leases
  • Drafting, reviewing and negotiating rental agreements
  • Property and asset management contracts
  • Brokerage law and commission-related issues
  • Dispute resolution in ongoing tenancies
  • ESG requirements, green leases, operating cost law

We create legal structures that work in the long term – both for individual properties and large-volume portfolios.

  • Advice on changing tenants, contract renewal, termination and handover
