With a strong focus on purchases, sales, and leases, as well as residential, horizontal property, corporate, and tourism real estate developments, including financing structuring.
Together with other practice areas of our firm at the local and regional level, such as banking and finance, environmental, corporate, and taxation, we provide comprehensive advice, particularly in real estate financing, buying and selling transactions, project development, capital market matters, and tax advisory.
The Real Estate team in recent years, has managed to get involved through the participation in various platforms, discussions promoted by the sector, giving opinions and being a pioneer in the development of those areas that are required to innovate in the legislation of the sector, which in recent years, has created new products in the Real Estate market and required a regulatory flexibility that suits these purposes.
Knowing the actions of the regulatory entities that are necessary for the authorization of a real estate project in Guatemala has allowed us to collaborate, know the sector and actively promote legal frameworks focused on those changes that are necessary to bring the country to a strategic planning and development.
