Real estate
Expertise
Real estate transactions and development projects raise a wide range of legal considerations and due diligence, including title, zoning and planning, permitting, contractual structuring and risk allocation, and ongoing regulatory compliance.
Our Real Estate team provides comprehensive support for acquisitions, disposals, leasing, development, and asset management. Given their permanent impact and often significant capital commitment, major construction and infrastructure projects require a heightened legal focus from the initial planning stage, including appropriately tailored procurement and contracting strategies, as well as effective risk management throughout the project lifecycle.
