The modern real estate market requires entrepreneurs to make complex decisions with long-term implications. Every transaction—whether a purchase or sale—entails various legal and tax risks. Our law firm specializes in providing comprehensive legal advisory services, ensuring our clients’ security at every stage of the transaction. We support both buyers and sellers, focusing on risk mitigation and maximizing benefits, particularly in complex business transactions.
Our real estate transaction services
- Real estate due diligence – we conduct detailed due diligence on real estate, allowing for a full understanding of its legal, factual, and financial status. Our in-depth analysis provides clients with certainty that the acquired property is free from undisclosed liabilities, third-party rights, or other risks that could impact its value or usability.
- Transaction structuring – as part of our transaction advisory services, we place particular emphasis on the precise structuring of real estate acquisitions and disposals. We handle transactions under traditional models such as asset deals and share deals, as well as more complex structures, including forward purchase and forward funding. Each structure is tailored to the client’s specific needs, optimizing legal, financial, and tax outcomes.
- Preparation and negotiation of transaction documentation – we provide comprehensive support in drafting and negotiating all necessary transaction documents. Our expertise includes preparing Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), letters of intent, term sheets, as well as preliminary, conditional, promised, and final property transfer agreements. For transactions requiring additional security measures, we develop structures utilizing escrow accounts, notarial deposits, and other forms of collateral, both notarial and non-notarial. This ensures that each contract is not only meticulously drafted but also fully protects our clients’ interests.
- Advising on M&A transactions involving real estate – in collaboration with our corporate and transactions team, we provide specialized advisory services for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) where real estate is a key asset. We offer end-to-end legal support, from transaction planning and due diligence to negotiations and finalization, ensuring full compliance with legal regulations while optimizing the transaction structure for the client.
- Investment financing advisory – securing external financing is often a crucial element in executing large-scale investments. Our law firm provides legal assistance in drafting and negotiating financing agreements, including bank loans, private loans, and other financial instruments. We support clients in negotiations with financial institutions, preparing required documentation, and ensuring optimal financing conditions.
- Legal support in real estate commercialization – real estate commercialization is a critical phase of development projects, particularly for commercial properties such as retail parks, shopping centers, office buildings, and mixed-use developments. Our firm provides end-to-end legal support throughout this process. We draft and negotiate lease agreements, ensuring they are both beneficial to property owners and attractive to potential tenants. We also assist in resolving legal issues that may arise during commercialization, ensuring smooth project execution in compliance with applicable regulations.
