Construction Law
Formation and performance of construction contracts — in particular land-share-for-construction agreements — liability for defects and delay, and title transfer disputes.
Construction law governs the relationships between the parties to a building project. Land-share-for-construction contracts between landowner and contractor, revenue-sharing models and contracts for work are at its centre.
Formation and form of the contract, delay and defective performance, termination, the contractor's transfers to third parties and the position of unit buyers are frequent issues. The Court of Cassation's 2025 decision unifying case law has brought early title transfers to contractors back into focus.
