About

Provided by Borenius

Borenius’ Real Estate & Construction practice advises investors, developers, owners and other parties on all real estate related legal questions. Our team has extensive experience in acquisitions and sales of individual properties and real estate portfolios, including sale and leaseback, development, leasing and related financing and security issues.


Our strong experience in construction, environmental matters, zoning and land use enables us to advise on development and redevelopment projects. We are well known for our practical way of working in real estate development projects, and we are used to working with all relevant parties involved. We are familiar with different financing structures used in development project transactions. We also advise construction clients and contractors in planning and negotiating construction projects and carrying out projects during the construction period up and until handover and final settlement of accounts.


Our Real Estate & Construction practice works in close co-operation with our Fund Formation & Investment Management and Banking & Finance practices. We also regularly advise and represent our clients in dispute resolution – both in-court proceedings and out-of-court settlements – and support our clients in everyday corporate real estate matters.
