Real Estate Development & Regulatory

"This regional firm maintains strong Baltic coverage and presence in the market." 

Development and construction is the most complex and technically challenging phase of the real estate property life cycle. It is a highly regulated process involving interaction with state and municipal institutions. The successful handing of such projects requires a coordinated effort by all project participants as well as an understanding of business with strong experience in project management, technical matters, and legal issues.

We guide clients through this complex process and identify the milestones and risk points in order to make timely preparations for risk management solutions and measures.

We provide services related to property development projects, helping with matters like land acquisition, zoning procedures, obtaining construction permits, construction, and all required communications with state institutions.

Over more than 20 years, we have served numerous developers, strategic investors and infrastructure operators. We have assisted them with major infrastructure projects, complex zoning and regulatory matters, and greenfield developments.

Our clients include major state institutions; state and private infrastructure companies in the energy, utility, transport and other sectors; investors and developers in the renewables sector; and private real estate developers, private equity investors and other types of investors.
