Urban Planning, Environmental Law and Real Estate

In the framework of public law Sérvulo has reinforced its commitment in the legal areas of urban planning and the environmental law, seeking constantly to cooperate in the increasing mechanisms and instruments of defence and qualification of natural resources. The soil is one of the most limited but also one of the most sought after natural resources and requires a decisive contribution from the law for optimum integrated management of the land use, whether by encouraging socio-economic development and quality of life or by preserving environmental quality. Together with water and air, the soil plays a core role in the natural cycles that support biodiversity. Urban planning is therefore an area of legal practice of considerable size and is not restricted to the field of the environment in its natural components: air, water, flora, fauna, soil and subsoil, or in its accompanying human components: landscape, natural and constructed heritage, and sources of pollution – noise, waste and water effluents.
Urban planning and the environment are, in fact, inseparable realities where the regulation and the proliferation of legal regimes increase every day, requiring maximum rigour in compliance, within a local, regional, national, European or international framework.
The inclusion of real estate is essentially due to the proximity between technical and legal issues and the challenges facing the areas mentioned above. Particularly as real estate, an area already handled extensively at our firm, continues to require in-depth technical knowledge of property law and a good command- of administrative law, particularly as regards urban planning and the environment.
As nowadays no area in law is watertight Sérvulo has multi-disciplinary teams that combine the essential skills required for many real estate deals, particularly as regards tax issues which are essential for the planning and financial sustainability of any real estate operation. We hope in this way to achieve the goals that have always guided Sérvulo: effectiveness, speed and quality in the provision of services to our clients.
