Real estate and construction lawyers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and legality of all property-related transactions. They help clients properly structure deals, minimize legal risks, and comply with regulatory requirements at every stage of a project.
Legal support for real estate transactions requires in-depth knowledge and attention to detail. A qualified real estate lawyer conducts due diligence on the property, reviews purchase agreements, identifies risks, and protects the client’s interests. This is particularly important when acquiring commercial property, land plots, or residential real estate.
In the field of construction, legal assistance helps prevent issues with documentation, permits, and interaction with contractors. An experienced construction lawyer drafts and reviews construction contracts, ensures compliance with building codes, and assists with obtaining construction permits and completing project registration.

3. Dismantling of structures: In the case of serious violations or construction without permission from the relevant authorities, they may require dismantling of already built structures.
4. Fines and damages: Illegal construction work can lead to financial losses due to fines, possible need for reconstruction or dismantling, as well as legal costs.
