Real Estate Law

At Berngaard, our lawyers have specialist expertise in real estate and commercial property law. We have extensive experience with property transactions – whether structured through direct ownership or various corporate vehicles – and assist across all phases, from negotiations and due diligence through to completion.

We have built solid experience over time in the purchase and sale of development sites, and in advising on development projects from an early stage. Our lawyers also have extensive experience in commercial lease law and assist both landlords and tenants across all phases of a tenancy relationship – from contract conclusion to termination and dispute resolution.

In combination with Berngaard's expertise in corporate and tax law, we cover the full range of legal competence required for commercial property transactions.
