We provide advice on all kinds of real estate matters with an understanding of your underlying business logic.
We approach every issue with a “get it done” attitude and understand the dynamics of real estate transactions: complex cross-border arrangements require a certain type of team and mindset, whereas straight-forward transactions between local players calls for a different one.
Our clients include international and local investors, funds, and developers. We have particular experience advising international private equity clients and are proud to have decades-long relationships with some of them. We are also a leading adviser for data center developers and operators in Finland.
When providing legal advice, we think of your business interests first. With our broad expertise, we proactively work with your strategic goals in mind, making sure that your legal and business interests are aligned. We always tailor the team to the needs of your matter and bring in experts from other practice groups at the firm where needed.
The Real Estate Team is a part of our Real Assets Practice, which is a multi-disciplinary group of experienced lawyers whose expertise cuts across energy, infrastructure, real estate, construction, environment, and projects.
