We provide comprehensive legal services in the preparation, review and negotiation of agreements relating to real estate transactions and broadly understood contractual (obligational) relationships.
Our objective is to ensure the legal security of each transaction and to effectively mitigate risks at every stage thereof — from initial structuring, through negotiations, to completion.

We specialise in the drafting and review of preliminary agreements for the sale of real estate, both in standard written form and in the form of notarial deeds.
We ensure that our clients’ interests are properly safeguarded by precisely defining:
- the conditions for the conclusion of the final (definitive) agreement,
- timelines and performance mechanisms,
- arrangements concerning deposits (earnest money) or advance payments,
- liability of the parties in the event of non-performance.

We place particular emphasis on provisions relating to:
- rent and indexation mechanisms,
- capital expenditures and improvements,
- liability for the technical condition of the property,
- termination and exit arrangements.
