Full-service advice and counsel on all aspects of German real estate law
Real estate transactions are notoriously complex because of the numerous interested parties (including architects, contractors, engineers, local authorities, licensing and zoning boards, notaries and investors) and the large amount of money at stake. Making matters worse, German real estate law is controlled by a variety of different laws and statutes – as well as authorities tasked with monitoring compliance with these laws on federal, state and municipal levels. For example, real estate projects often implicate significant tax law issues which must be carefully addressed.
