TAGLaw - A Worldwide Alliance of Independent Law FirmsNotable Cases
ZDR Retail Litoměřice s.r.o.
During the very busy and short pre-Christmas period, we helped our client (a real estate investment fund) to acquire a retail park with a total lease area of 11.923 square metres. The tenants of the retail park are main players in the Czech Republic and significant players world-wide (Ahold Group and OBI). At the same time, we re-negotiated the loan agreement with a bank financing the project. In addition to the usual issues regarding such a project, we successfully tackled the issue of the technical condition of the retail park: we helped our client to get very interesting provisions into the transaction documents strongly enhancing his position regarding this issue.
ZDR Retail Schwörstadt GmbH
We successfully support our client (a real estate investment fund) in its continuing expansion in Central Europe, this time in South-Western Germany near the German-Swiss border where our client acquired a retail park whose tenants consist of major retail players in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia or Poland. Throughout the acquisition, we managed a wide range of tasks from communication with a German financing bank, completion of a complex due-diligence process of the target to a successful negotiation and signing of the sales-purchase agreement thus ensuring a smooth execution of yet another significant foreign transaction for our client.
Kunstdepot gmbh
In the fall 2020, we supported our client (a real estate investment fund) in their first expansion to a German speaking country. The target was a unique property – depositary of the museum of modern arts Salzburg with a lease period of over 40 years outside of the beautiful town of Salzburg, Austria. We successfully helped our client in negotiating the contractual and financing documentation and providing supervision of the due diligence process resulting in a seamless transaction for both parties to the contract.
ZDR Retail Pula Beta d.o.o. and ZDR Retail Pula Omicron d.o.o.
During the second half of 2021, we assisted our client (a real estate investment fund) in his largest transaction to date and his first acquisition of a retail park in Croatia with a total value exceeding €70 million with more than 45 tenants including a majority of significant European retailers. We helped our client to review and assess potential risk connected with his expansion to Croatia and coordinated teams of legal, tax and advisors in Czechia, Austria and Croatia to ensure the whole transaction will go smoothly and without any issues. Furthermore, we assisted our client in dealings with the financing bank from Croatia.
