The growing complexity of regulations vis-à-vis property investment, occupancy and site operation calls for a thorough understanding of the related issues and challenges. Because the frequency of legal disputes in this domain is on the rise, careful preparation is required by all parties involved at the planning stage with regard to any contemplated project, the content of the contractual or other documentation for its implementation and the type and details of any necessary legal action.
