Procure + Transact

Advisory

22

Property and real estate projects (leasing, new development, acquisition and divestment) involve long term and large-scale opex and capex decisions, potential contingent liabilities and delivery risks.

To ensure you are getting the best deal, you need a trusted independent adviser to advocate your interests, design and manage a robust procurement process, negotiate commercially astute terms and ensure the contractual commitments represent value for money and your best interests.
