Real Estate

Concordes lawyers supports professionals in the construction, property development and property investment sectors within a legal and regulatory environment that is particularly complex, technical and constantly evolving.

Philippe Simonart is a lecturer on property law at the Brussels Bar Association. This approach, which is at once theoretical, practical and strategic, enables the firm to provide a rigorous analysis of the applicable rules whilst taking into account the practical realities on the ground.

Martin de Wrangel was in charge of law courses at the ECAM Academy (for industrial construction engineers) and previously served as legal director of one of Brussels’ leading construction firms.

A demanding and constantly evolving regulatory framework


Real estate construction and development are subject to a layering of rules, particularly in real estate law, administrative and urban planning law, construction law, environmental law, and tax law.

The main issues include:

  • the obtaining and securing of urban planning and environmental permits;
  • fire safety management; and heritage preservation;
  • the legal and tax structuring of real estate projects;
  • the management of risks related to construction and marketing;
  • the profitability and valuation of real estate investments.


Comprehensive support for real estate projects


Concordes Avocats supports its clients throughout the life cycle of construction, development, and real estate investment projects, particularly in terms of:

  • legal and strategic structuring of real estate operations;
  • acquisitions, sales, and investment structuring (asset deal, share deal);
  • real estate development and promotion projects;
  • construction contracts, work contracts, relationships with architects and project managers,
  • responsibilities of stakeholders;
  • restructuring, repurposing, and valuation of real estate assets;
  • support for the operation and management of assets.


A cross-disciplinary expertise serving the performance of projects


The firm intervenes in a coordinated manner on all matters directly impacting real estate projects, including:

  • administrative law and urban planning: permits, authorizations, litigation;
  • construction law: liabilities, guarantees, technical disputes;
  • real estate law: sales, real rights, assets, leases, asset structuring;
  • tax and estate law: real estate taxation, ownership and transfer;
  • labor law: construction sites, subcontracting, social obligations;
  • safety and compliance of buildings(fire safety, accessibility for people with reduced mobility).

This cross-cutting approach ensures legal coherence, risk management, and economic optimization of projects.
