Nuestra práctica inmobiliaria da cobertura a las necesidades de asesoramiento de nuestros clientes en materia de derecho inmobiliario y/o con un componente de derecho administrativo de urbanismo. Nuestro equipo cuenta con una amplia experiencia en el asesoramiento a todo tipo de inversores, promotoras y financiadores del sector, a los que asesoramos en todo tipo de inversiones y promociones en España y en el extranjero, así como en la financiación de numerosos proyectos inmobiliarios en todas las áreas del mercado inmobiliario (centros comerciales, hoteles, hospitales, gimnasios, universidades, etc).
Asimismo, nuestro equipo desarrolla su actuación profesional en materia de derecho inmobiliario y urbanismo interviniendo en operaciones de compraventa, sale and lease- back de activos inmobiliarios, recalificación y urbanización de suelo, contratos de construcción y de servicios de arquitectura y project-management y realizando “due diligence” legales inmobiliarias para empresas promotoras e inversores inmobiliarios.
Además, un gran número de los asuntos de nuestro departamento de inmobiliario tienen un fuerte componente de “fusiones y adquisiciones”, lo que nos permite ofrecer a nuestros clientes en este área un asesoramiento global con un alto valor añadido y un claro enfoque de negocio.
Finalmente, tenemos una dilatada experiencia en el asesoramiento inmobiliario en situaciones “distressed”, incluyendo la adquisición de activos en el seno de procesos concursales y la adquisición de carteras de inmuebles sujetos a descuento. Del mismo modo, en el contexto de la situación generada por el COVID-19, asesoramos a ambas partes en procesos de renegociación de contratos de arrendamiento afectados por el escenario posterior al estado de alarma y la alteración de la situación económica y comercial.
