The best outcome is a permitting process with no objections — where everything passes smoothly. In practice, that is rarely the case.

So when objections come — and they often do — we are ready. We know how to evaluate them, how to respond, and what arguments authorities accept and what they don't. We know how to formulate responses that work.

Administrative courts assess not only the substantive correctness of decisions, but also whether proper procedural steps were followed. A single formal error can lead to a permit being annulled and the entire process having to begin again.

We have experience with administrative courts at all levels, including the Supreme Administrative Court. We know what courts look for and how to frame arguments that deliver the outcome you need.

And thanks to our specialization in litigation, we can effectively coordinate permitting proceedings with any parallel court disputes.

Development in heritage protection zones comes with its own rules. What appears to be a minor change may require approval from the heritage authority.

If construction deviates from what has been permitted, it can lead to work stoppages and problems at the completion stage.

We have handled cases where projects ran into serious difficulties due to unauthorized changes during construction.

In such situations, swift action is essential — obtaining retrospective permits, negotiating with authorities to allow work to continue, preparing documentation for the completion of a modified structure.

From our experience, the best approach is always to engage and cooperate with the National Heritage Institute proactively, from the very beginning.

Few buildings are completed exactly as originally designed. Technical complications, changes in investor requirements, budget adjustments — each of these can require an additional permit, and every permit means delay.

That's why we have established processes for the most common types of changes.

We know what can be resolved with a simple notification, what requires an additional permit, and what must be treated as a change to the structure before completion. A fast response can save months of unnecessary waiting.

Industrial spaces come with specific requirements — noise, vibration, emissions, material handling. All of these need to be addressed in the lease to prevent disputes.

Tenant investments in leased premises can be substantial — technology, fit-outs, operational adaptations. We establish clear rules for these investments and for how they are settled when the lease ends.

Long-term lease relationships are typical in industrial real estate. The tenant needs security for their investment; the landlord needs predictable income. We negotiate terms that work for both sides.

Lease agreements often include various forms of security — a deposit, a bank guarantee, a third-party guarantee. Each has its advantages and disadvantages for both sides.

We also handle less conventional forms of security — such as a gradually reducing deposit tied to consistent performance under the lease.

Developers come to us with completed projects — but more often at the planning stage. Because well-structured lease agreements can significantly affect a project's attractiveness to investors and its long-term value.

When an investor buys a commercial property, they are not buying concrete and glass. They are buying future income. And that income depends on the quality of the leases.

Every tenancy can go wrong. A tenant stops paying. A fundamental breakdown in expectations occurs.

Experience tells us that the best dispute is one you can avoid altogether — or at least resolve quickly and at minimal cost. And that starts with the contract.

We can build dispute resolution procedures directly into the lease agreement.

And if a landlord is trying to evict you without proper grounds, we can review the lease, analyze the situation, and advise you on the right next steps.

We frequently work with clients who own land that, under the current zoning plan, cannot be developed — or can only be developed in very limited ways. We help them find a path to obtaining the necessary development rights through zoning plan amendments.

We coordinate the entire amendment process — traffic studies, environmental impact assessments, urban planning studies. Every relevant authority has its own requirements, and we know how to meet them.

We represent clients in situations where planned zoning amendments could harm their property or business.

We prepare comments on draft zoning plans, formulate objections in proceedings, and file administrative actions.

Each stage of administrative proceedings requires a different approach and different arguments. We have experience at every level, including before the Supreme Administrative Court.

Large-scale zoning amendments require coordination with a wide range of stakeholders. The political sensitivity of these processes calls for careful preparation of a communications strategy and public engagement.

Changes triggered by infrastructure projects are often unavoidable — but their terms can be negotiated. Replacement land, compensation, protective measures — all of these require expert legal representation.

We also handle situations where the interests of different groups of landowners are in conflict. Our role is to help find a solution that respects the legitimate interests of all parties and enables sustainable long-term development of the area.

A zoning amendment is not the end — it is the beginning. After approval comes the building permit process, completion, and further changes down the line. That is why, even as we prepare an amendment, we are already thinking about what comes next.

We structure conditions to give you flexibility for future development.

We address road access, technical infrastructure, and connections to the surrounding area.

A well-prepared amendment saves problems and money in every subsequent phase of the project.
