Real estate
SIMONSEN’s Real Estate lawyers have vast experience of contracts, the legal status of real property, property development and the transfer of real property. We have long focussed on real estate transactions, particularly commercial property, and we have extensive experience in large and complex real property transactions – including assistance in working with syndicating real property. We have also worked with clients on major property developments. Our expertise in development begins with the earliest stages of the planning process and we are proud of our ability to advise clients from conception to completion in the most complex and challenging projects.
Our expertise extends to Public Private Partnership projects undertaken within Norway’s OPS (Offentlig Privat Samarbeid) initiative; we have experience in the procedures for both development and operational contracts. We also assist estate agency businesses, and undertake dispute resolution in major property transactions, and construction contracts.
