About

Provided by Sorainen

Our team loves the challenge of advising on a complex deal, and are known for handling major real estate development and investment projects - projects where a conventional approach is no help, such as property portfolio deals and sale-leaseback transactions - as well as city master plan amendments or other real estate development challenges. We have a strong track record in assisting in and co-ordinating pan-Baltic transactions. Our team has assisted in all the largest real estate deals in the Baltics since the early 2000s.

Our experts can help our clients with the following:

  • the full range of zoning and planning matters;
  • drafting design and construction contracts for developments in all sectors, including energy and infrastructure, commercial and real estate, and residential development;
  • help sellers and buyers of commercial real estate, whether shopping centres, office buildings, logistic centres, hotels or other kinds of property;
  • assisting landlords and tenants with lease agreements for retail, offices, logistics and hotel management;
  • advising our clients of all environmental matters related to the development of their real estate.
