Professionel advice on complex legal matters

Expropriation is a legal process enshrined in the constitution that can be very complicated. The state can take property or property rights from the rightful owner for public use – for example, where new roads, bridges, or railways are to be built.

Expropriation must be carried out to promote the interests of society, but it also has a significant impact on the person being expropriated – this may be an owner or a tenant who is being evicted or whose rights are being expropriated.

There are many interests to be considered, and legal insight and competent advice are necessary to get through the process legally and to ensure that the rights of the parties involved are respected. Focus Advokater assists both the public sector and those who may be expropriated with expert knowledge.
 

In connection with the purchase and sale of real estate, including building sites, and the letting of commercial properties, complex VAT legislation may give rise to questions as to whether a transfer or transaction entails an obligation to pay VAT. Both Danish and EU legislation often come into play here. It is therefore essential that the parties involved receive the correct advice, as this can have an impact on profitability, correct accounting, and subsequent additional tax claims from the authorities.

Focus Advokater has expert knowledge in this area and ensures that the parties are properly equipped to deal with any VAT challenges arising from a real estate transaction in a timely manner.

Regardless of when in the process a real estate project is to be transferred, in addition to negotiating the commercial terms, a legal assessment of the content of the transfer must be carried out to ensure the rights of the parties involved and to provide an overview of any obligations.

The contractual basis must be in place – from the purchase agreement and ownership agreements to the commercial lease or the owner association rules.

It is also important to have an overview of the corporate and tax law options and consequences of a transaction before the final decision is made and the agreement becomes binding.

Focus Advokater has the expertise across our legal teams. This ensures the necessary advice on all relevant aspects of the transaction.
