Services

We have long been providing comprehensive legal advice to Czech, Slovak, and international clients in the areas of real estate law, development projects, and construction. We are among the most experienced teams on the market, and clients seek us out for our ability to take on the legal aspects of real estate projects in their full scope – whether it concerns real estate transactions, project preparation, financing, permitting processes, negotiations with authorities and other stakeholders, or the subsequent operation and management of lease relationships.

Our lawyers have been involved in a number of significant transactions, including acquisitions and disposals of real estate, development projects, and the establishment of joint ventures focused on real estate investments. We have worked on many successful projects ranging from brownfield developments and the construction of office, mixed-use, and other buildings to the acquisition or sale of prestigious Czech and international hotels and the structuring of relationships with their operators.

The BBH real estate team also has extensive experience in project financing and lease arrangements, as well as unique expertise in establishing and operating investment structures, including real estate funds and crowdfunding platforms.

We have unique expertise in administrative, court, and arbitration proceedings related to real estate and construction, both in litigation and arbitration. In recent years, we have represented clients in some of the most significant real estate cases in the Czech and Slovak Republics.

Clients highly value our innovative approach and our ability to handle highly specific and complex matters that are of exceptional importance and value to them. At the same time, we provide ongoing and general support to their projects.

Our ability to seamlessly integrate real estate law with other related areas of expertise – banking and finance, regulation, capital markets, M&A, and dispute resolution – is particularly appreciated. Thanks to close cooperation across BBH teams, we deliver tailored solutions and a clear path forward even in the most complex cases.
