Real estate transactions are becoming increasingly complex and most include cross-border aspects.

Our Real Estate and Corporate/M&A teams regularly join forces to handle major projects and complex operations. With our experts in administrative law, we are also able to advise clients on specific local and regional aspects, and guide them towards the solution that best meets their objectives.
