Real Estate Development and Land Subdivision

Real estate development and land subdivision projects follow a long, regulated cycle: project approval, registration, sales, financing, construction and delivery. At each stage, commitments made to buyers, lenders, builders and government accumulate, and legal risk grows in step.

Mendes advises developers, land subdividers and builders on construction contracts and joint ventures for project development, project-level corporate structuring, the tax regime applicable to their operations, construction-site labor relations and disputes involving the financing and construction of condominium projects. The work also includes responding to buyer claims and preventing litigation through well-designed sales instruments.
