Real Estate & Construction

Property is where business, private wealth and litigation meet. We advise on acquisitions, leases and construction projects, and we litigate when things go wrong.

The firm advises investors, developers, landlords and tenants on commercial and residential property in Belgium, and assists Belgian and international clients with real-estate holdings in Greece. Construction disputes, defects and contractor liability are a recurring part of our litigation work.

Tenancy matters for private clients are handled by Charlène Roussel before the Brussels Justices of the Peace.
