Real Estate Law

Due to reduced margins and accelerated use of finances during project development, planning and implementation measures have to be streamlined. That is why construction rights have to be secured early on through qualified legal counsel to allow for the greatest possible exploitation of the property. HFK Attorneys at Law advises its clients on fundamental planning law issues that often have to be created through negotiation and the signing of urban development contracts with municipalities. We also advise on zoning issues, including the building permit procedure and any necessary agreements with neighbors, for instance, due to lost rents or stand-off areas around buildings. We also advise our clients extensively on site development laws as well as public street and road laws, historic preservation laws and planning and regional planning laws.

HFK Attorneys at Law has many years of comprehensive experience dealing with the construction and change in use of commercial and special properties, such as
office, retail, logistics, hotel and highrise projects, along with residential development.

Public construction law, in addition to tenancy law, plays a vital role in any kind of transaction. Risks created by unauthorized construction, court imposed conditions or planning restrictions on property use have to be discovered as quickly as possible in the context of a legal due diligence audit, so that they can be dealt with, either by reducing the purchase price, or by specific guarantees or indemnity clauses in the purchase contract. HFK Attorneys at Law's many years of experience in this area allow us to identify these risks quickly and practically to benefit our clients.
