Real Estate and Commercial Property

Tark & Co has a large market share in providing legal advice in real estate matters especially in the commercial property sector in Estonia. Usually we work for developers, banks and construction companies. We also provide services for infrastructure companies, architects, landlords, tenants and private parties in high-end real estate acquisitions. We help our clients with real estate acquisitions, mortgaging, division and encumbrance with other real property rights and provide assistance in the drafting of lease agreements, construction agreements and security documents. We also advise clients on a regular basis about zoning rights and construction permits as well as about other relations with authorities. Our experience in real estate due diligence is exceptional in Estonia.

We have worked and continue to work with the most significant property developments in the capital city of Estonia, Tallinn. SAS Radisson and Viru Keskus are the most prominent examples. Our real estate lawyers make use of the firm's tax, environmental, corporate, and litigation know how and deliver the highest level advice with the goal of achieving the most efficient solutions for our clients. In a situation where most of the real estate related agreements need to be notarised, Tark & Co has excellent co-operation with leading notaries in Estonia.
