We provide comprehensive legal services for real estate market investments, including the acquisition or disposal of properties, as well as in transactions involving the acquisition of shares or stakes in companies, and joint ventures between developers and financial investors regarding commercial real estate investments. We support clients from the preparation stage of the investment, starting from the legal status analysis of the property and the feasibility of the intended investment, through property acquisition, and the preparation and negotiation of investment documentation between investors, as well as documentation related to the construction process and the commercialization of the property (i.e., lease and tenancy agreements).
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
Professional legal services for real estate investments are essential due to the need to secure proper legal title to the property and determine the possibility of developing the property in accordance with the investment intention from a legal standpoint. This is also important from the perspective of securing debt financing for the planned investment. Moreover, appropriately shaping the rights and obligations of investment partners in agreements is key to the success of the investment and the achievement of each investor’s intended goals, as well as eliminating disputes and other crisis situations.
In real estate investments, legal issues often have a crucial impact on the ability to later sell, encumber, and commercialize the investment, more so than in other investment industry sectors. Sometimes a legal defect or a specific legal factor related to a property can prevent financing of the investment project, obtaining construction permits, the possibility of selling or renting premises, conducting certain activities on the property, or susceptibility to other later inconveniences in its use.
