He provides assistance with sales and purchases and other forms of real estate transactions (leases, purchases and sales, negotiation of option contracts, implementation of settlements etc.). His assistance also includes development of real estate for expansion purposes, in the form of assistance in relation to public authorities (e.g., in planning and construction matters) and other private actors (e.g., by negotiating reimbursement agreements with other developers/parties subject to reimbursement, or various agreements with existing neighbours). In addition, he regularly assists housing developers in deficiency cases and other matters relating to the Norwegian Housing Construction Act.
