Tackling the complexities of Swiss real estate law

Real estate and construction law in Switzerland can be complex. Federal, cantonal, and municipal legislation is constantly evolving and environmental and energy-saving law is having an impact on the industry.

Our Real Estate team works with all areas of the market, from investors at planning stage, through complex buy/sell and rental transactions and on restructuring of real estate portfolios.

Expertise you can build on

As a client, you can access a diverse breadth of experience and knowledge. Our partners are active in governing bodies of real estate companies and foundations, have experience in construction and real estate legislation and teach and publish leading works on real estate and environmental law. Several of our attorneys are also civil law notaries.

Our services include:


  • Construction projects: we advise investors, sellers, builders etc. in the development of land plots and in the planning and construction of real estate portfolios
  • Real estate transactions: we advise sellers or purchasers on real estate transactions, and can advise on rental/tenancy agreements. We regularly advise real estate companies on restructuring estate portfolios.
  • Real estate litigation: we can support with problems during construction, disputes relating to construction defects or land issues, working to avoid proceedings where possible, but robustly defending you in court if necessary.

“Location, location, location –we are your local experts."
