Experience

Beatriz provides advice from Pérez-Llorca’s Land Planning, Environment, Infrastructure and Construction practice area, with a focus on new trends in the land planning market (e.g. co-living, build to rent, data centres, insurance, etc.).

Specifically, Beatriz regularly advises domestic and international companies (e.g. investment funds, developers, financial institutions, construction companies, real estate groups), public administrations and land planning entities, centred on:

• Real estate transactions of all types of projects throughout Spain, including land, works in progress, finished products for development, renovation and/or refurbishment (e.g. residential, commercial, tourism/hotel, offices, industrial/logistics) with a high level of complexity in terms of land planning (e.g. changes of use, protection of historical heritage, right of first refusal, easements, etc.).
• Procedures for obtaining administrative authorisations for the implementation and development of projects (i.e. environmental, land planning and administrative authorisations and licences).
• Drafting land planning reports analysing the land planning situation of plots of land and real estate assets (e.g. applicable planning parameters, situation of land planning licences, contingencies, etc.).
• Advice on drafting, processing, revising and analysing urban planning and management instruments (e.g. General Plans, Partial Plans, Special Plans, Re-plotting Projects, Detail Studies, Urban Development Projects).
• Environmental advice regarding waste, discharges, protected areas and species, contaminated soil and emissions, as well as sectoral issues (coasts, trainlines, airports, etc.)
• Litigation in administrative proceedings and experience in the negotiation with Public Administrations for the resolution of legal-urban issues, as well as disciplinary files.
