Expertises

Construction & Development
Large-scale infrastructure projects, the redevelopment of existing real estate, an increasing focus on sustainability and changes in national and EU laws and regulations. Over the past 20 years, Houthoff’s extensive Construction & Development Team has developed unrivalled knowledge and experience, which means that our clients are always guaranteed the best possible support.
Procurement
Tendering is a careful process that begins with the preparation of the procurement and continues through to the signing of the contract. At every stage – whether it involves drafting documents, conducting procedures, handling complaints, or managing complex disputes – expert guidance is essential.
Projects & Project Finance
Project financing forms the backbone of many large construction and infrastructure projects, in both the public and private sectors. These projects often require complex financing structures.
Real Estate
The real estate market is constantly evolving, driven by urban growth, sustainability goals, complex financing, and shifting regulations. For companies, investors, and developers, these challenges are rarely simple - making knowledgeable legal advisors essential throughout the real estate lifecycle.
Energy & Industry
Investments in wind and solar energy, biorefining and large-scale energy storage are all here to stay. CO2 emissions have to be reduced, which means that production processes need to be more efficient. This requires significant investment on the part of the industry.
Transport & Logistics
The growing consumer market, the arrival of large European distribution centres and rising demand in the construction sector are all contributing to a greater demand for physical goods flows, and with it a growing need for transport.
