Real estate

A successful contract is based on a solid foundation and a thoroughly drafted contract. This applies to contracts between owners, contractors, architects and subcontractors, but also to professional services agreements and finance guarantees.

Today's increasing environmental taxes also make it even more important to focus on environmentally sound construction. The operational costs of the finished construction must be as low as possible, and it is therefore important to be innovative throughout. We have in-depth knowledge of all the rules and standards of sustainable construction, and we ensure that our clients' projects are legally sustainable as well. If disputes arise in connection with a construction project, we have wide experience conducting litigation - both before the ordinary courts and before arbitration tribunals. 

In connection with the different stages of a construction project, we advise on the following:

• Contracts
• Negotiations
• Disputes
• Calls for tenders
