Urban Planning

PARES offers legal advice on urban planning, assisting property developers with licensing, project development, environmental compliance and expropriation processes, as well as interacting with authorities and technical teams.

Specialised legal advice

PARES has a team highly specialised in urban licensing processes, with an emphasis on assisting property developers in land development operations, tourism projects, local accommodation, and the construction of commercial and residential establishments.

With extensive expertise in urban planning planning, we offer proactive support at all stages of the licensing process, collaborating directly with the client's technical team (architects and project planners) and interacting with municipal services and other entities such as the CCDR, APA and ICNF. In addition, we assist in the negotiation and formalisation of planning and urbanisation contracts, as well as in environmental control procedures. We also provide legal advice to local authorities in the areas of territorial planning and urbanism.

Our team accompanies expropriation processes, delimitation of public water domain, judicial recognition of private property, and processes related to the use of public domain assets.
