With its substantial commercial volume and growing market share, construction activity today brings with it many complex legal disputes. Although construction law generally has its own distinctive types of disputes, problems connected with other areas of expertise also arise.
Eker Law Firm has gained experience and built a substantial litigation record in many complex matters, above all transactions involving real property, as well as forms of ownership and the resolution of problems in co-ownership.
In addition to advising construction companies, we have resolved legal problems concerning real property that had become impossible to deal with because it was jointly owned by a large number of stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions in this area:
