At first glance, a real estate transaction may seem simple and clean but that is rarely the case. MG Law carries out legally certified due diligence for real estate acquisition, from off-plan and new properties to public auctions to ensure that our clients are protected in their transactions. The last thing that you want to have happened in an Italian real estate transaction is for things to fall apart because all the details of the transaction were not properly investigated.
The goal of our due diligence approach is to cover, research and explore options related to every risk within the given deal, and beyond. Risks are then managed with a specific draft, safeguard clause or limitation of liability clause—whatever legal safeguard is necessary for your specific purchase. In the end, our goal is to have you fully informed and fully covered from the beginning.
Our highly comprehensive and personalized due diligence process requires the collection and analysis of lots of data and documents, which sometimes may be hard to obtain. In fact, the related documents can be kept by various administrative offices, and they can also be written in a highly technical language, which is difficult to understand without the technical assistance of an attorney. We have the expertise and the bandwidth needed to ensure that all documents are analyzed and obtained in a timely manner.
