Real Estate and Development

We have a deep and long-standing knowledge of the real estate market and market standards, which enables us to understand not only the legal but also the commercial aspects. We are able to negotiate the most favourable terms for our clients. We have advised individuals and companies on changes in the legal relations to real estate, including transfers of ownership, lease agreements, easements, liens or execution orders, but also in the process of construction and usage of new buildings in construction or other related administrative proceedings, and therefore we know very well what principles to follow.

We will comprehensively advise you on the structure of the real estate transaction as well as the legal service from the purchase of land, through construction to its sale or lease, both for smaller buildings and larger development projects.

We work effectively with technical experts and understand the technical aspects. We know how the land registry and entry procedures work. We are also familiar with less common issues such as land regulations or the functioning of the State Land Office.

Our expertise has been used in the past by a wide range of clients, from banks and financial institutions, to manufacturing plants and shopping centres, to individuals. If something goes wrong, we can effectively defend your rights in administrative and/or court proceedings.
