Real estate and the investment process

Our law firm provides comprehensive legal support in the field of construction investment and real estate transactions. We advise on development projects – from analyzing the legal status of real estate and due diligence, through handling the purchase of land, preparing the development process, to the sale of real estate as a whole (e.g., to investment funds or PRS) or organizing the sale of individual premises. We also support the commercialization of service and warehouse space by drafting and negotiating lease or tenancy agreements for commercial, office, or warehouse space.

We advise on all types of real estate transactions. We support both the purchase and sale of real estate, verifying and organizing the legal status of the property before the conclusion of the sale agreement. We advise on transactions in the residential, commercial, service, and warehouse markets, both in the purchase of greenfield sites for investment projects and in BTS, BTR, sale & leaseback transactions.

We represent clients in administrative and court proceedings, including those concerning the establishment or abolition of easements, neighbor disputes, or the performance and improper performance of construction works, as well as defects and guarantees. We provide ongoing advice on the compliance of investments with building regulations, local zoning plans, and technical conditions. We also assist in contacts with contractors and building supervision authorities.

The KWKR team consists of experienced lawyers who have specialized in providing legal services to the real estate sector for many years. Our extensive portfolio includes complex projects of significant value – we have provided legal services for investments involving tens of thousands of residential units and in land purchase transactions from the largest entities on the market, worth hundreds of millions of zlotys.

We have successfully represented clients in the sale of retail parks for an investment fund worth over PLN 250 million, in the construction of a real estate portfolio for a PRS fund comprising several thousand residential units, and in advising on the construction of a production plant for a large packaging manufacturer. We provided comprehensive legal services for the entry of a foreign hostel chain into the Polish market, as well as for the lease of large office spaces and in various commercial real estate sales transactions.

We offer comprehensive advice on spatial planning including work on Integrated Investment Plans, amendments to Local Spatial Development Plans and appeals against unfavorable provisions of Local Spatial Development Plans, feasibility studies and general plans. Our team has extensive experience in representing clients in proceedings concerning planning rents and claims for compensation related to changes in spatial planning. We assist investors at every stage of the process of obtaining zoning decisions and building permits, minimizing legal risks and accelerating the implementation of investments.

Many years of experience in handling construction processes, bank-financed investments, and public-private partnerships allows us to accurately identify potential risks and propose effective solutions that protect clients from disputes or costly investment downtime.

Cooperation with our law firm guarantees legal security and time savings at every stage of the investment. We take over time-consuming administrative procedures, conduct negotiations with contractors and investors, and represent clients before courts and administrative authorities.

A detailed analysis of the legal status of real estate and knowledge of current regulations concerning development and the construction process enable us to effectively protect our clients’ interests, both during the investment and at its completion. Our services include both ongoing advice and support in more complex activities, such as real estate sales, drafting lease agreements, and representation in court disputes.

We provide our clients with a flexible approach, full transparency, and high quality of service, regardless of the size or stage of the project.

Involving a lawyer at the investment planning stage significantly increases the chances of success. A detailed analysis of the legal status of the property – taking into account any encumbrances, easements or building restrictions – allows you to avoid serious problems at a later stage and to properly secure your interests in the contracts you enter into.

Investment processes are multi-stage and complex – from the application for building conditions, to the execution of construction works, to the introduction of the property to the market. Each of these stages carries potential legal risk. Our law firm provides ongoing advice, conducts court and administrative proceedings, and supports the resolution of disputes – both with contractors and administrative authorities.

Real estate law, like construction law, is subject to constant change. Working with a law firm that constantly monitors legislative changes and is able to react quickly is an investment in the security of your entire project.
