Tenancy and real estate law generally involve tangible interests. At the same time, these areas are very practical – from contract drafting to defects and terminations to disputes relating to purchases, condominiums, or neighbors. Clear contracts, clean documentation, and early legal assessment help to reduce risks and resolve conflicts efficiently. We advise and represent tenants, property managers, and owners—pragmatically, discreetly, and with a focus on finding solutions.
In tenancy law, even minor ambiguities can often lead to disputes—for example, regarding rent adjustments, ancillary costs, maintenance obligations, renovations, restrictions on use, or the return of the rented premises. Precise contract drafting and careful preservation of evidence (e.g., notices of defects, reports, photos) are crucial.
We support you in drafting and reviewing rental agreements (residential and commercial), in questions regarding rent and index-linked/graduated rents, in defects and rent reductions, in utility bills, as well as in subletting, contract transfers, and usage concepts. The goal is to achieve a clear, legally secure, and practical solution.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Terminations under tenancy law are formally demanding and often emotionally stressful. Whether it is a regular termination, extraordinary termination, termination due to late payment, or termination for personal use, the decisive factors are the correct form, notice period, and justification, as well as a realistic assessment of the chances of success of a challenge or extension.
We advise you on terminations, challenges, and extensions, on termination agreements, on payment arrears and security deposits, and on expulsion proceedings. We place great importance on providing quick, clear recommendations for action and efficiently enforcing your rights—out of court and, if necessary, before arbitration authorities and in court.
Real estate law often involves complex contracts and significant assets—whether in the purchase or sale of a property, the development of projects, or disputes within condominium owners' associations. Typical issues include warranty questions, construction and planning defects, easements, neighborhood law, administration, and challenges to resolutions.
We assist you with purchases and sales, due diligence and contract negotiations, questions regarding condominium ownership (regulations, resolutions, administration, cost allocation), and real estate disputes before authorities and courts. Where appropriate, we seek pragmatic settlement solutions—and consistently represent your interests when it matters. We are also happy to handle legal protection cases at any time.
