Austria > Real estate

Cerha Hempel regularly assists real estate companies, developers and investors with sizeable real estate developments across the hotel, retail, office, logistics and residential (including student housing) sectors. Its expertise in the last-mentioned segment has recently led to a number of forward purchase and forward funding transactions, while other typical instructions are construction-related. This offering is complemented by expertise in lease and management agreements – which has recently been called upon by shopping centre and supermarket operators – alongside real estate litigation such as rent and eviction litigation. Team head Peter Vcelouch has a specialism in construction-related work.

Austria > Construction

Cerha Hempel‘s cross-practice approach translates into regular mandates that, alongside construction law expertise, also require a deep understanding of real estate, public and corporate law alongside public procurement and dispute resolution. Based on this setup, the team is able to handle all aspects pertaining to real estate developments; recently this has mostly been in the residential and retail space. Team head Peter Vcelouch reflects this approach and assists clients, including construction companies, investors, retailers and real estate developers, with matters at the intersection between construction and real estate law as well as with associated litigation and arbitration.
