Real estate and construction

Advokatfirmaet Dehn has a large and dedicated team of property solicitors with considerable experience in the property industry and construction law. We assist companies, businesses and private individuals in all matters relating to real estate, construction and contracting. Our broad expertise enables us to handle everything from simple property transactions to complex construction projects and disputes.

Our lawyers provide daily legal assistance to owners, builders, contractors, developers and consultants. We assist with the drafting and review of construction and consultancy agreements, follow-up of construction projects, final settlement, and handling of claims for defects and delays. Our experience includes advising on the Housing Construction Act, the Planning and Building Act, and the relevant Norwegian standards for construction and contracting.

We offer comprehensive assistance in the purchase and sale of property, both residential and commercial, as well as in renting and letting. In connection with property transactions, we assist with due diligence (DD), contract negotiations, contract execution, takeover, registration and assessment of licensing conditions. Our solicitors are licensed to act as settlement mediators, which means we can assist you throughout the entire sales process.

Our services also cover issues relating to road maintenance and road rights, neighbour relations, easements and rights of use, as well as the organisation and conversion of property companies and housing associations. We have extensive experience with sectioning, division and consolidation of property, option and development agreements, ground leases, property law, damage insurance and property management.
