Real estate law

Property matters, particularly those involving large-scale, high-value or prestigious properties, can sometimes give rise to legal, town-planning or regulatory issues, bureaucratic formalities, and the risk of financial or even criminal penalties.

We advise Italian and foreign companies and investors on all types of property transactions and provide assistance in civil litigation, whether in the ordinary courts or through arbitration.

By way of example, this translates into the following advisory services:

  • Legal due diligence on property (verification of title, restrictions, encumbrances, etc.).

  • Drafting and negotiation of preliminary and final property sale and purchase agreements.

  • Sale and leaseback transactions.

  • Property development and regeneration projects.

  • Property wealth planning for private individuals and family offices, including structuring via trusts, particularly in the context of inheritance and gifts, family agreements and other asset segregation instruments.

  • Assistance to family offices in the management of multi-generational property portfolios.

  • Tax-efficient structuring of property investments (direct and via corporate vehicles), including cross-border transactions.

  • Commercial, residential and office lease agreements.

  • Works contracts, general contractor agreements and project management contracts.

  • Assistance with planning permission, SCIA (notification of commencement of works), amnesties and building regularisation.

  • Assistance in legal proceedings, mediation and arbitration, including assistance in administrative proceedings before local authorities and supervisory bodies.
