Construction, planning and real estate law

Our real estate team advises clients at every stage of real estate and investment projects, including planning, financing, structuring, property acquisition, contracts, and procurement; provides ongoing legal support throughout the construction process; and, where necessary, assists with dispute resolution and project exit strategies.

Our extensive knowledge and experience in the field allow us to assist a wide range of real estate stakeholders, from developers and institutional investors to landlords, tenants, borrowers, and lenders.

Our professionals, experienced in the construction and real estate sectors, provide legal solutions across a wide range of areas, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, energy facilities, power generation and transmission infrastructure, and road construction and maintenance.

International real estate companies, developers or investors do not need to engage a new local office in every jurisdiction – our legal services are globally consistent, high-quality, prompt, and client-focused.
