Frankly, VEFA (Sale in Future State of Completion) is a risky process. In Biot, where new developments border complex plots, setbacks are frequent.

My role is concrete: analyze your contract and specifications, document the shortcomings, and initiate the necessary actions. Whether it's for negotiation or litigation, I defend your rights. remedies in case of construction delays or to initiate a termination action, I guide you. In the worst-case scenarios, such as a abandonment of site, a rapid legal response is crucial.

Life in a condominium, very common in Biot in both old and new residences, is another source of tension. Contested charges, votes on important works, conflicts between neighbors or with the management association... These disagreements poison daily life.

I defend the interests of the condominium association as well as those of an individual co-owner, for a real estate law and co-ownership applied with equity.

Similarly, an encroachment – a wall, a fence, a terra challenge a building permit if the disputed work benefits from it.
