The sector is characterized by aggressive competition and ever-increasing regulation. The decisive factors here are conflict-tested contract drafting and assertiveness both out of court and in litigation.
A special focus is also placed on international real estate law with cross-border purchases or sales as well as inheritance cases involving real estate abroad. In principle, the property principle determines the market (lex rei sitae), so that the acquisition of a foreign property is governed by the respective local regulations. Therefore, in Germany, for example, a real estate purchase contract is only effective if it has been notarized by a notary.
