Construction law
Building a private house, a public building or infrastructure can imply multiple issues relating to both the relationships between the parties involved and to the applicable legal framework. Litigation can also arise between individuals operating on a building site.
For many years, we have worked alongside public administrations, architects, contractors and landowners, assisting them in all legal matters that may arise during the planning and realization of construction projects. Our professionals have years of specialised experience working with the different levels and positions in both the private and public sectors.
Our strengths
We assist private individuals, public administrations and parastatal entities acting as contractors, supporting them through all phases of the planning and realization of a project. We also provide advice to professionals in the field of construction, assessing the relevant legal framework and supporting them through the negotiations up to the drafting of the final contractual documents.
Our main expertise is related to the following issues:
- the correct interpretation of the public law regulations of spatial planning;
- building permit application procedures;
- general contractor agreements and agreements with architects and other construction professionals.
Moreover, we protect our clients’ interests in any dispute that may arise on a construction project, identifying the most appropriate way to proceed.
Our legal construction professionals have a broad and deep expertise, acquired over decades of activity. Some of them have previously worked at the Territorial Department and at the Cantonal Administrative Court, dealing with spatial planning proceedings and litigation related to building procedures.
Furthermore, our professionals have expertise in other closely related legal fields such as spatial planning and real estate investments, enabling our law firm to provide excellent support to its clients even in highly complex projects.
