Real estate law
In real estate law, nothing is ever “just” a technical issue.
A property is never just a physical asset — it’s often a value, a project, a legacy, and at times, a source of dispute. Behind every property lie real interests, multiple stakeholders, hidden complexities and, frequently, the need to act with precision and speed.
Canella Camaiora® advises private clients, businesses and investors at every stage in the life of a property: from acquisition to management, from value enhancement to litigation. We’ve built our reputation on protecting intangible assets. Just imagine what we can do when it comes to tangible ones.
Over time, we have developed in-depth expertise in resolving real estate disputes, drafting contracts, advising on complex construction agreements, and conducting technical and urban planning due diligence. We also support clients with inheritance matters, property divisions, judicial auctions and enforcement proceedings, as well as with tax-efficient asset protection strategies.
We operate with rigour, foresight and a clear strategic focus. Because true protection today is not just legal—it is also preventive, integrated and precisely targeted. That is why we offer a comprehensive service, covering all major areas of real estate law, including:
- Property sales and transfers (due diligence, negotiations, preliminary agreements, post-sale disputes);
- Commercial and residential leases (contract drafting, termination, eviction, damages, non-payment of rent);
- Construction contracts and major building projects (complex developments, renovations, new builds, project supervision);
- Urban and environmental due diligence (building code compliance, planning and landscape restrictions, permits, land registry conformity);
- Damage claims, defects and liability (construction-related damage, water ingress, technical assessments, compensation claims);
- Real estate litigation and judicial protection (ordinary and urgent proceedings before the Italian courts);
- Judicial auctions, enforcement and real estate investments (auction purchases, risk assessment, investor support);
- Mediation and conflict management between heirs or co-owners;
- Condominium law (bylaws, general meetings, disputes, legal challenges, debt recovery);
- Building incentives, planning procedures and property taxation (bonuses, building permits, tax reliefs and incentives);
- Real estate asset protection (family planning, trusts, succession, corporate shielding);
Real estate law goes far beyond regulations: it involves floor plans, financials, restrictions, and stakeholders. That’s why Canella Camaiora® adopts an integrated approach, where lawyers, tax advisors, technical experts and asset consultants work together to provide comprehensive and actionable solutions.
Each matter is handled with a personalised strategy, tailored to the client’s goals — whether defensive, transactional or asset-related. Our aim: to enhance the value of your properties, anticipate legal risks, and reinforce your position.
A multidisciplinary approach: law, tax and technical insight
Real estate is never just a legal matter. Every property carries relationships, investments, future plans, and sometimes, disputes.
Canella Camaiora® is the ideal legal partner to manage every aspect of real estate law: technical, financial, contentious. With precision, strategic thinking and a deep understanding of value.
We protect extraordinary projects®. Including real estate.
