Our advice covers all stages of the real estate transaction cycle. We have been involved in such high-profile cases as, for example, advising in the biggest property transaction by a single Polish investor (an investment fund belonging to the PZU S.A. Group) in the process of the acquisition of 4 logistics parks, and advising in one of the largest transactions concerning the financing of office assets on the market (Polonia I) in obtaining credit facilities relating to Wiśniowy Business Park. The combination of a significant track record, industry knowledge, our dedication to sector focus and commercial advice sets us apart from our competitors. For these reasons we believe our Real Estate Department merits an award in the Eurobuild Awards 2015 as Law Firm of the Year in Poland. |
