Real Estate

The origins of HabrakenRutten lie in real estate. Our lawyers have amassed a deep sector knowledge over the years. We focus on projects and transactions whether it concerns residential construction, offices, retail, leisure, distribution or data centres. This may involve inner-city or greenfield projects, but also non-OTC transactions, including sale & lease back, restructuring, (re)financing and investment structuring for investors, including family offices.
We focus on strategic advice, guide high stake negotiations and - if there is no other option - conduct disputes at the cutting edge. The lawyers at HabrakenRutten have an undisputed reputation, as dealmakers but also as fighters. We are part of an extensive network of decision-makers in the real estate sector, whether they are developers, builders, investors, financiers, consultants or governments.
