Contracts

A clear contract creates security –

for both parties

Real estate transactions require precision, experience, and a thorough understanding of the applicable legal framework. Our advisory services focus on the legal drafting, review, and negotiation of all agreements relating to the acquisition, sale, and use of real estate—from purchase offers and option agreements to preliminary agreements and definitive sale and purchase agreements. We ensure that contracts are clear, balanced, and legally robust, protecting your interests and helping to identify and mitigate potential risks at an early stage.

Our services also cover lease and tenancy agreements, as well as agreements relating to gifts, easements, rights of superficies, and other rights of use in rem or under the law of obligations. We assess the specific legal and economic implications of the proposed contractual arrangements and assist you in developing a solution that is tailored to your objectives and provides long-term legal certainty.

Our advice is available in German, Italian, and English. This enables precise communication among all parties involved and ensures that all rights and obligations are clearly understood and unambiguously set out in the contractual documentation. Particularly in cross-border real estate transactions, linguistic and legal precision in drafting is essential to avoid uncertainty and prevent future disputes.

We also assist you in working with the Italian notary and coordinate the legal aspects of the entire transaction process. From reviewing documentation and draft agreements to preparing for the notarisation, we provide continuous legal support and help ensure that the transaction proceeds in a structured, transparent, and legally secure manner.

Another key area of our practice is the thorough review of the legal status of the property. In cooperation with the relevant experts, we assist in analysing ownership structures, encumbrances, easements, and other legal particularities affecting the property. This provides a sound basis for informed decision-making and helps identify potential risks before the contract is concluded, allowing appropriate safeguards to be put in place.

We also advise on the contractual structuring of real estate investments, transfers, and long-term usage arrangements, taking into account the applicable tax, legal, and economic considerations. Our aim is to provide reliable legal support throughout the entire real estate transaction—from the initial negotiation stage through to the execution of the definitive agreement.
