REAL ESTATE LAW
Real Estate Law for Companies in All Industries
Companies of all sizes need tailored corporate real estate (CRE) strategies that enable them to achieve their goals in a legally compliant manner. ORTHPARTNERS offers comprehensive consulting services in real estate law.
We focus on commercial real estate: from corporate headquarters, logistics centers, and manufacturing facilities to administrative buildings, mixed-use commercial properties, and specialty real estate.
Our clients—medium-sized companies, family-owned businesses, and corporate groups—value our business-oriented perspective, the high level of contractual certainty we provide, and our understanding of the interplay between law, business operations, and the market.
We guide your real estate decisions with foresight and legal precision. Your company is always our top priority.
Consulting in the Real Estate Industry
The life cycle of a real estate property—from acquisition and financing through project development and asset management to disposition—requires legal support that consistently keeps your business objectives in mind. We manage transactions as asset or share deals, restructure portfolios, and draft commercial lease and rental agreements. Our goal: to strengthen your business strategy.
Our experts take into account the interplay between operational requirements, regulatory guidelines, and market dynamics to safeguard your investments.
Sustainable real estate is gaining importance and influencing the need for legal advice. ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, Governance) are becoming a key focus of strategic decisions.
We assist our clients in incorporating sustainability requirements into contracts, for example by drafting green leases. We also ensure that regulatory requirements are precisely implemented in transactions and portfolio optimization efforts—always with an eye toward the efficiency and future viability of your company.
