PLANNING Law and Real Estate Law

 

The law firm of Savin Martinet Associés has developed expertise in zoning law thanks to its work with French and foreign private promoters and developers, local government authorities, and local mixed-economy companies in connection with real estate and development projects, sale and acquisition of property portfolios, and property management (drafting and review of leases, contracts for sales in advance of construction, and similar documents).


The firm possesses in-depth knowledge of environment protection law, particularly with respect to polluted soils and sites, which has been the primary area of activity of the firm since its establishment. In addition, its knowledge of zoning regulations enables it to assist its clients in evaluating the risks inherent in their operations. Its services include:

 

  • Identification of legal procedures best suited to their operations;
  • Scheduling;
  • Correct preparation of documentation, including audit documents and the local zoning plans, territorial consistency plans, building permits, property division procedures, and similar filings;
  • Compliance with procedural requirements for applications and permit examinations;
  • Correct preparation of contracts.

 

The firm is also able to establish relations with the appropriate government agencies, a very important element in zoning and environment engineering and one on which real estate operations and development are dependent. The firm also checks to ensure that local authorities have followed correct procedures in pre-emption and expropriation proceedings.


Monitoring and auditing of documents and legal actions involving government agencies are among the specializations of the firm. Its experience in these areas is based on its collaboration in the assembling of financing packages for the construction of shopping centers and for unified development areas.


The firm also assists clients involved in public and private operations in the public domain, including temporary occupancy permits, various types of long-term leases, partnership agreements, and public service delegation.
