Project development

In project development, it is essential that the parties involved make firm arrangements about the division of roles, the size of the project, and its implementation. In this context, we have advised on joint venture agreements, development agreements, operating agreements, and implementation agreements, among others. During the implementation phase, it is also important that the necessary permits and licences are obtained. We have advised and litigated on zoning plans, planning permission, and other permits and dispensations that are necessary for seeing a project through to completion.

Due dilligence

When buying and selling property, it is important to know exactly what is being bought or sold. What rights or obligations are attached to the property? Are there any tenants or other users? Does the zoning plan permit the intended use? Are there easements, attachments, municipal or other preferential rights, or any other restrictions?
Especially in larger projects or property portfolios, it is advisable to carefully examine all documents and establish whether any information is missing. Asking the right questions now can prevent considerable headaches later. M2 Advocaten has extensive experience in conducting thorough due diligence and can help you get all the essential information you need.
