Real estate law: Real estate lawyer in Paris: Secure your assets, protect your property

Real estate law governs legal relationships relating to real estate. It covers, in particular, sales and acquisitions, leases, disputes between landlords and tenants, co-ownership, and conflicts relating to construction or building work.

Because real estate is often a once-in-a-lifetime project.

 

Whether you are an apartment owner, investor, or business leader, real estate is the foundation of your financial security. It is often said that "when the building is doing well, everything is doing well." But when legal issues arise—a tenant who stops paying, a construction project that turns into a disaster, or a condominium association that is deadlocked—that foundation begins to crack.

The real estate market in Paris is complex, governed by strict technical rules and constantly changing case law. Our firm is the guardian of your assets. We understand that real estate litigation is not just a matter of money; it is a source of daily anxiety that threatens your profitability or peaceful enjoyment.

We step in to turn this complexity into security. From carefully drafting a commercial lease to handling an eviction, including dealing with construction appraisals, we're here for you. We defend your property as if it were our own.

Frequently asked questions about real estate law

The ideal is to intervene before signing. Having a lawyer review a preliminary sale agreement or lease prevents 90% of future disputes. Otherwise, contact us at the first sign of trouble: late rent, a suspicious crack, or a heated co-ownership general meeting.

Yes. It is a technical and lengthy procedure that does not allow for any errors in terms of dates or form. We handle everything: payment orders by bailiff, summary proceedings, obtaining eviction judgments, and requesting police intervention from the prefect if the tenant does not leave.

A standard lease downloaded from the internet does not protect you. For a commercial lease, a bad clause can prevent you from selling your business or cause your rent to increase sharply. For residential leases, omitting certain mandatory information (energy performance certificate, rent control) can result in the lease being declared null and void or fines being imposed.

Yes. If a contractor abandons the site or does poor work, we intervene to enforce insurance policies (ten-year warranty, construction damage insurance). We assist you during legal expert meetings to counter the technical arguments of opposing insurance experts.

Focus on Condominiums – Living together isn't always peaceful

 

Conflicts between co-owners or with the property manager can paralyze a building.

  • Disputing unjustified charges.
  • Cancellation of a General Meeting decision (you have two months to act!).
  • Action against a noisy neighbor or one who carries out work without authorization. We are familiar with the ins and outs of the 1965 law to defend your rights as a co-owner.
