The law firm “DE-JURE” helps individuals and legal entities in various situations, taking 8th place in the “Real Estate and Construction” category in the authoritative rating “50 Leading Law Firms of Ukraine-2025”.
A consultation with real estate lawyers begins with the client voicing his request: building a house, redeveloping an apartment, buying land or other wishes.
If the question is simple, for example, submitting a single application, the lawyer immediately explains the procedure. However, if the situation is complex and requires step-by-step support, the specialist takes a break to study the papers in detail. In such cases, a written advisory opinion is prepared with a detailed action plan. The document contains information about the necessary permits, approvals, the procedure for involving contractors and designers. The lawyer helps the client see the entire legal side of the issue and avoid mistakes associated with bureaucratic procedures.
Before a construction and real estate lawyer can give a detailed answer, the client must provide certain documents. Their list depends on the situation, but the most important are documents establishing the right to the object.
If it is a new construction, documentation for the land plot is required. In the case of reconstruction or redevelopment, a certificate of ownership of the object must be provided. Sometimes the client already has draft or design solutions – it is also advisable to show them to the lawyer.
Before the consultation, specialists often ask to send scans or photos of documents in order to familiarize themselves with the situation in advance. This allows you to conduct a meeting more effectively and discuss specific issues. It is especially important to check the intended purpose of the land if construction is planned. Errors in this matter can lead to refusal of permits or legal problems in the future.
By contacting the company “DE-JURE”, the client receives support from a lawyer at all stages: from preparing documents to interacting with state bodies.
In matters such as purchasing real estate, a lawyer checks the “cleanliness” of the object, assesses risks, analyzes contractual terms. This helps to avoid problems with legal objections to agreements.
During construction or reconstruction, a lawyer accompanies the process, helps to issue permits and develops a contract between the developer and the customer. This reduces the risks of disputes between the parties, regulates financial and organizational issues.
If the client wants to delegate legal procedures, a specialist can represent his interests: submit documents, conduct negotiations, monitor the fulfillment of obligations.
The company “DE-JURE” provides professional legal support on various issues. The services of a lawyer in construction and real estate include the following areas:
Legal support for construction companies covers all stages of project implementation: from land purchase to transfer of the finished facility under management. The main areas of support:
One specialist cannot always cover all the nuances, so it is more profitable for construction companies to contact law firms where lawyers of various profiles work. This helps to promptly resolve personnel issues, contractual relations, legal disputes, and tax aspects.
When constructing or reconstructing a real estate object, it is important to understand all legal aspects in advance. When a person has a desire to build a new object or change an existing one, he may be faced with the need to obtain a legal opinion. Any construction work can affect the rights of third parties and require compliance with the law.
A construction lawyer helps determine what approvals are required, what permits are required and what risks may arise. Timely appeal to a lawyer will help avoid fines, as well as save time and money in the process of project approval.
Despite the fact that developers often use standard documents, their content can vary significantly. A lawyer representing the interests of the buyer in a real estate transaction helps to assess the risks “hidden” in the contract and determine whether changes are possible.
One of the key documents when interacting with a developer is a preliminary contract with the developer. It defines the main terms of the future agreement, the construction period, the procedure for transferring the apartment and possible sanctions. Some developers prescribe in the contracts only the obligations of the buyer, leaving him no guarantees. The lawyer analyzes these points and helps to protect the client’s interests. And if necessary, to terminate the contract with the developer.
If the seller is open to dialogue, the lawyer will help to formulate key changes. Otherwise, the consultation will allow the buyer to understand all the legal consequences of the conditions proposed by the developer.
After construction is completed, the developer cannot transfer the building to a new company. The law requires compliance with a procedure that includes a vote of the owners and the execution of a number of documents. Legal support is important in this process to avoid possible disputes in the future.
In fact, developers sometimes create a management company and transfer the object by deed, bypassing the voting process. However, this method has risks, since residents can challenge the transfer.
A real estate lawyer helps organize the correct transfer:
An opaque transfer of the building can lead to disputes, double payments and even litigation.
Applying a permit for building a house requires careful preparation of documents and submitting them to the relevant authorities. This can be done on paper or through the electronic e-Construction system or the “Diya” portal. Despite the simplicity of the procedure, unmotivated refusals by authorities are often encountered. They can be appealed, but it is better to immediately correctly draw up the documents to avoid repeated submissions.
In addition, during construction, inspections by the State Traffic Safety Administration, tax authorities or the Ministry of Emergencies are possible. With legal support, we not only control the process, but also protect the interests of clients in case of unfounded claims.
During the construction and reconstruction of real estate, developers and owners of objects often encounter bureaucratic obstacles. State and local authorities may unreasonably refuse to grant approvals and permits, delay the deadlines for considering documents, or require papers that are not provided for by law. In such cases, legal assistance is required to protect the client’s rights. It includes analyzing the situation, preparing substantiated requests, and appealing against illegal decisions in administrative proceedings and, if necessary, in court. The right legal strategy allows you to speed up the process of obtaining permits and protect the client’s interests, minimizing the loss of time and money.
