Real Estate and Construction

Experience matters. Frishberg & Partners stands apart from the other Ukrainian law firms, because real estate transactions have been at our core for more than 30 years.

In fact, our first real estate transactions involved foreign Embassies, who retained us to purchase or lease buildings for use as an Embassy and Ambassadorial residence. As a result, we became specialists in landlord-tenant relations and real property acquisitions.

We also assist international companies, real estate developers and individual investors in acquisitions of apartments, land plots, residential and commercial buildings, and industrial properties.

In construction-related projects we collaborate with our Construction Advisory team to provide coordinated legal and technical support, including zoning designations, utilities, construction permits, and regulatory compliance.

Whether you are in retail, office, residential, hotels, or infrastructure reconstruction, Frishberg & Partners offers comprehensive assistance.
