Specialisation
-
Real estate financing
In the context of any real estate transaction, the financing of the transaction itself also plays a key role. FPS not only advises in the area of due diligence, but also drafts and negotiates loan agreements and deals with complex portfolio financing. In addition, our experts examine refinancing options with traditional or alternative forms of financing and advise on meeting the loan disbursement requirements.
-
Neighbour law
The high level of importance accorded to property ownership in Germany requires a large number of neighbour regulations that govern the legal relationships between landowners and play a major role in the approval or modification of construction projects. When it comes to negotiating and concluding neighbourhood agreements that take into account the interests of all parties, our experts have wide-ranging expertise acquired over a number of decades. In many projects, and in particular high-rise building developments in Frankfurt, we have been successfully working in the field of neighbour law for many years.
