SERVICES
Real Estate Transactions And Development
We advise clients across the full lifecycle of real estate investments and projects — from acquisition and development to financing, leasing, and exit. Our clients include institutional investors, private equity funds, high-net-worth individuals, real estate developers, construction firms, property managers, landlords, and tenants. We handle both domestic and cross-border matters, with a clear understanding of commercial objectives, zoning and regulatory constraints, and financing frameworks.
Asset and SPV-Based Property Transactions
We support buyers and sellers with end-to-end legal assistance in real estate transactions — whether direct asset deals or share-based transfers of project companies (SPVs).
Our transaction services include:
-
Title verification and historical ownership review
-
Legal due diligence covering corporate, contractual, zoning, environmental, tax, and land use issues
-
Negotiation and drafting of sale and purchase agreements, escrow agreements, and pre-contractual documents
-
Structuring and transferring SPVs for indirect acquisitions, including group reorganization and intra-group transfers
-
Support with land registry filings, notarial certifications, and compliance with cadastral and municipal requirements
-
Coordinating with tax and financial advisors to optimize holding structures and manage transactional liabilities
We prioritize transactional clarity, enforceability, and minimizing post-closing risk. Our goal is to deliver deals that are legally sound and operationally clean.
Commercial and Residential Development
We advise on all legal aspects of real estate development — from site acquisition through permitting, contracting, construction, and handover. Our team supports both greenfield and brownfield projects, including residential, office, hotel, logistics, retail, and mixed-use developments.
Our services cover:
-
Drafting and negotiating general contractor agreements, subcontractor contracts, and FIDIC-based EPC frameworks

-
Advising on occupational safety, liability exposure, and contractor compliance
We work closely with architects, engineers, and technical consultants to ensure the legal framework supports on-the-ground execution and mitigates risk throughout the project cycle.
Commercial Leasing and Property Management

Handling lease amendments, extensions, early terminations, and tenant improvement obligations
-
Structuring rent deposit mechanisms, guarantees, and fit-out cost-sharing arrangements
