Real Estate Law and Urban Transformation
Advice and litigation on the acquisition, transfer and restriction of immovable property, and on risky-structure procedures under Law No. 6306.
Real estate law covers the acquisition, transfer and restriction of ownership of land and buildings and the rules of the land register. Promises to sell and contracts of sale, co-ownership and joint ownership, actions to cancel and correct registrations, partition and pre-emption rights are its main subjects.
Urban regeneration is the renewal of risky buildings and areas under Law No. 6306. Risk assessments, decisions taken by a simple majority of owners, land-share-for-construction contracts, rent assistance and entitlement all call for careful legal assessment, particularly since the amendments made by Law No. 7471.

- Drafting and reviewing promises to sell and contracts for the sale of real property
- Actions for cancellation and registration, rectification of the register and trespass
- Partition of co-owned property and statutory pre-emption actions
