Real Estate Acquisition
Legally Sound. Economically Well-Considered.
Acquiring real estate in Switzerland or Austria offers a wide range of opportunities. At the same time, different legal systems, tax frameworks and regulatory requirements come into play – the Lex Koller, formerly known as Lex Friedrich, i.e. the Federal Act on the Acquisition of Immovable Property in Switzerland by Foreign Non-Residents, is just one example. Those who set the right course at an early stage lay the foundation for a sustainable investment.
We advise private and institutional investors throughout the entire acquisition process – from legal due diligence and selecting a suitable acquisition structure to contract drafting and completion. In doing so, we take corporate, tax and permit-related matters into account, as well as the specific characteristics of the respective legal system.
In this way, we develop solutions that combine legal certainty with economic efficiency. Where required, we draw on our international network of specialised experts.
