The experience of Ellex Klavins Real Estate Group in commercial real estate and construction matters derives from advising on the largest and most complex Baltic transactional, construction and development projects over a long period of time.

Our specialists understand that large-scale projects require a pragmatic business-oriented approach, which is crucial for our clients. We have mastered the local intricacies of law and practice related to real estate, however, we are also able to combine this knowledge with a broad and internationally minded approach. 

Our clients are leading local and international commercial and residential property owners and developers, construction companies (general contractors and subcontractors), financiers and investors, lessees, insurance and surety companies, architects, engineers and suppliers, as well as public sector institutions.

After the merger of Ellex Klavins and Glimstedt & Partners in Latvia, the experienced real estate professionals of both firms have joined forces in a joint group allowing us to strengthen our position in the Latvian legal market even more, share tour knowledge and advise clients on matters in all areas related to real estate.
