Real estate

Dentons‘ real estate practice is led by Dirk-Jan Gondrie, who excels in transactional matters, advising Dutch and international investors on sales, acquisitions, leasing and restructurings. Paul Wanders focuses on commercial property issues, handling real estate transactions, litigation, commercial tenancy law and professional liability matters. Landlords and tenants regularly seek out the firm for its track-record in commercial leasing mandates, with Wendela Raas and Jeroen le Clercq both key to such mandates. Other core areas of focus include cross-border tax, construction, and contentious matters.
