Despite the real estate crisis, there is still sufficient liquidity available to provide opportunities for investors. Companies with substantial equity are more likely to be able to acquire desirable projects at favourable prices. In this context, investments in distressed real estate assets require careful consideration and present different challenges to more conventional transactions. We support our clients in selecting precautionary measures to prepare for the potential insolvency of a contractual partner. We are familiar with both sides of such transactions and draw on our combined expertise in real estate and insolvency law when dealing with such cases.
