Infrastructure and investments

Infrastructure investment projects are characterized by complexity and their completion requires cooperation of various entities. Legal services for such undertakings require interdisciplinary knowledge and a versatile approach combining aspects of civil and administrative law. Such investments should be preceded by diligent planning and legal backup in place. Legal assistance is essential at each stage of investment – starting from obtaining administrative permits, signing execution contracts, handing over property for use and selling it. However, even after handing over the property, the problems usually do not end. Such large investments frequently entail year-long court disputes regarding contractual warranties and guarantees.

We render support to developers to arrange construction works and sell the property, including obtaining plots of land, administrative permits, cooperating with conservators, construction site inspectors and other authorities. Based on our long-term practice we have acquired relevant know how for drafting developer agreements. We enhance relations between developers and buyers. We deliver property marketing services for the needs of the clients or their tenants.

We work on optimal structure of the undertaking to ensure relevant corporate grounds for the investment.
