Construction and property law

Real estate embraces a host of economic, political and social issues, and is as vast as it is complex. In Extenso Avocats works in all areas of property on a daily basis, both with regard to private and public law.

Real estate and construction law, the core expertise of our firms

In Extenso Avocats accompanies numerous real estate professionals including estate agents, property developers, construction companies and building insurance companies, assisting in all their activities and relations with service providers, clients and suppliers.

Our team offers advice on project feasibility studies, building lease negotiations, emphyteutic leases, off-plan leases and property finance leases.

We assist project managers and building firms with contracts and legal issues at all stages of the construction project, including:

  • Emergency procedures (summary proceedings)
  • During preventative summary proceedings and subsequent monitoring of legal proceedings
  • In potential disputes between stakeholders: project managers (AMO), delegated contracting parties (MOD), design and/or construction managers, companies, subcontractors, building inspection services (both during the construction phase and on delivery), insurers, etc.
  • In enforcing building warranties and guarantees
