Real estate and construction law are areas where an overlooked detail on paper can have greater consequences than any structural defect.
Our day-to-day work includes mandates from municipalities, private individuals and construction companies in the Liechtenstein market: land exchanges, gifts, transfers of ownership. Every transaction is documented with legal precision and correctly registered in the land register.
Construction firms are supported throughout their projects, in negotiating contracts with clients or subcontractors, and when legal questions arise during operations that require prompt answers.

Frequently asked questions
Can anyone buy land in Liechtenstein?
Not without further ado. The acquisition of land in Liechtenstein is governed by the Land Transfer Act (Grundverkehrsgesetz) and in many cases requires approval. Whether and under what conditions a purchase is possible depends on factors such as residence, intended use and the type of property. We check this before the contract is signed.
When do you become the owner of a property?
Not when you sign the purchase agreement, but when the transfer is entered in the land register. Until then, it must be carefully agreed when the purchase price is paid, who bears which risks and what happens if an approval is not granted.
What must a construction contract cover?
Scope of work, price and payment schedule, deadlines and the consequences of delay, acceptance, warranty and how additional work is handled. In practice, unclear rules on variations and acceptance are the most common source of disputes.
