Real estate and construction

Our advisory services for the real estate and construction sectors

We provide advice to Danish and international property investors, pension funds, owners, contractors, lenders, housing associations and public and semi-public companies and authorities on all matters relating to real estate and construction, including in connection with property transactions, leases, construction and development projects, environmental matters, public and semi-public construction projects, real estate financing including PPP solutions and energy optimisation and climate adaptation.

With more than 80 lawyers specialising in the law of real estate and construction, we make sure that our clients experience smooth progression of the case by investing the necessary dedication and the necessary resources at all stages of the matter, thereby implementing a process that is tailored to our clients' needs and wishes. We are there from the initial concept stage until the last layer of paint has dried.

Legal advice focusing on possibilities and risks

We have the required specialist legal knowledge when it comes to building new cities, bridges, tunnels and energy islands for the investments of private investors/pension funds in property portfolios, urban development projects and the development of social housing and rental of properties. Our advisory services are based on our broad experience and a prioritised focus on our clients' needs, visions and goals so that they can create valuable solutions to benefit investors, owners, pension customers and citizens, etc.

Objectives and challenges

Increased regulation in areas such as energy optimisation with the adoption of the Taxonomy Regulation, requirements for sustainable construction and developments in digitalisation set a new agenda, also in construction and real estate.

Whether it is new construction, renovation projects, investments in real estate or asset management of property portfolios, the construction and real estate sectors are characterised by increasing complexity. The industry is also facing a future with uncertain times of delivery and unstable prices, etc. But we still insist on seeing possibilities rather than restrictions.

Legal challenges and disputes rarely stay within a single set of rules or a few sections of law. As one of Denmark's largest full-service law firms, we always provide the best team of lawyers across practice areas to assist our clients.  We tailor the team to the complexity and magnitude of the task and strive to find solutions that are - obviously - legally compliant and yet at the same time value-creating and sustainable in the long term.
