Our Legal Office provides services which cover the entire investment process. We support both entrepreneurs and individual entities

Our team is composed of lawyers with the expertise in construction issues (including graduates of post-graduate studies) and persons with construction entitlements who are responsible for disseminating factual and technical knowledge on a daily basis.

We have a reason to believe that construction investment does not commence when a building permit is issued, but a way earlier. Therefore we are able to assist as early as at the stage of investment planning.

Providing legal counselling at the stage of construction investment processing encompasses the following six phases:

STAGE I

Identification of clients’ needs, participation in negotiations, investor/contractor verification

The stage is concerned with discussing with investors/contractors a construction process, and a preliminary legal analysis of real estate to be subject of investment.

STAGE II

Obtaining „Decision about land development conditions”  / ”local spatial development plan extract”

Considering the aforementioned stages and cooperating with a design company, our Legal Office deals with the following:
1. updating, or gaining a map from geodetic surveyors for design-related purposes;
2. inscribing boundaries of an intended investment on a current map, or a cadastral map in line with the rules of law,
3. filing an application for making a decision or issuing an excerpt (frequently jointly with the design conception – for opinion-related purposes ) together with maps.
4. prior to filing an application for decision about land development conditions, one has to submit preliminary proof of suppliers’ utilities regarding fittings of the site, or planned expansion.
5. obtaining certificates (local power, plumbing and gas plant): Filing applications + document confirming a right to property (extract from the land and mortgage register) + site location plan

STAGE III

1. utilities supply: electric energy, water, gas
