Real Estate

Berngaard's Real Estate Department provides legal expertise and commercial insight to participants across the real estate sector. We assist clients throughout the full life cycle of a property – from development and transactions to ongoing operations and restructuring.

We work with a broad range of clients, including landowners, property developers, investors, banks, public entities, housing cooperatives and commercial operators. This breadth gives us a practical understanding of how different stakeholders approach the same project – and how to structure advice that works for all parties involved.

Our core services cover the purchase, sale and development of commercial property, as well as the drafting and negotiation of lease agreements. We focus on ensuring that processes are efficient and legally sound, and that our clients are well-positioned to make decisions with confidence at every stage of a project.

Because real estate transactions rarely sit within a single area of law, our department works closely with colleagues in tax, corporate law and construction law. This means clients receive coordinated advice across all the legal dimensions of their project – without having to manage multiple advisers independently.
