Real estate

Taking into account the technicalities of tertiary sector assets, we can support and advise you on the legal, financial and tax structuring of these assets within the context of your transactions. We also provide assistance throughout the lifespan of the building, from its construction to its exploitation, and for the management of related services (inter-company canteens, concierge services, etc.). We motivate and support the mobilisation of tertiary sector enterprises to boost a building’s energy performance; we also assist owners, landlords and buyers, both public and private, in ensuring that their properties are compliant with the new regulations for the sector.

We assist with all kinds of commercial properties (shopping malls, hyper- and supermarkets, high street shops, department stores, etc.) during their construction (trading licences, building permits, related disputes), sale or acquisition. We can also assist you in operating these properties (leases, management contracts and related agreements) and in any other specific issue related to these matters (commercial town planning, buildings serving the public, traders’ associations, signage, etc.).

Having worked closely for many years with industrial property owners, we have the unique technical and legal experience to help with all kinds of industrial and logistical assets. Combining our cutting-edge expertise in real estate, town planning and the environment, our team can handle any needs that may arise during the lifespan of your project, from feasibility studies to litigation, technical and financial structuring to contract drafting. We ensure that your transactions are secure, having in mind all the sites’ interactions with their occupants, their activities and the environment.

For operators in the residential property sector, we offer our unique expertise and in-depth knowledge of residential property. We support you, both on the advisory capacity and the litigation side, throughout your investment and disinvestment operations: bulk sales, piecemeal sales, dismemberment of ownership rights, BRILO (residential real estate lease), favourable tax regimes, social integration development operations, etc.

We aim for an innovative approach to developing residential property, supporting your projects for serviced residences, digitisation of rental relationships and development of shared rentals. At each stage of a residential project, we take consumer protection into account and help to deal with any group action that may be initiated. As an operator in the private, intermediary or social housing sector, you will find us your ideal partner and expert in your projects.

We may offer you tools to enhance your control of the different aspects of your leisure properties: from their design and construction according to the operator’s standards (project management assistance or delegated project management contracts, leases on presale properties, etc.) and the regulations (public access buildings, tourism classification, land use designation), up through financing and acquisition (legal and tax audits, guarantees).

We also advise you on structuring your operation (commercial leases), taking into account the power of the operating brand (hotel management contracts, trademark licences) and of regulatory advantages (Law on intervention in the tourism sector, TEPA Act for the promotion of labour, employment and purchasing power). We can assist you with any litigation that may arise from the construction and operation of your asset (abnormal neighbourhood disturbances, administrative disputes).

We work with you to design and formalise arrangements for the construction or renovation of public buildings and infrastructures. Our first mission is to support you in preparing competitive tenders and making formal bids through the various stages of the tender process. Then we help you finalise the contracts between the public entity and the operator and sign contracts with partners, suppliers and sub-contractors.

With our knowledge of health centres, we can intervene in any transaction involving this type of asset, such as externalisation operations, for instance. Other subjects include: fire safety and accessibility for buildings open to the public; adaptation of premises to health care requirements; mitigation of health risks; compliance with regulations; environmental risks of products used; specific installations such as boiler rooms, ventilation and air conditioning units; waste management; incineration; sources of radioactivity; storage; power generators; medicine manufacturing, etc. We can assist with both the operation of these centres and their construction or sale.
