Real Estate (Strata) 3+ pae
Dubai/Abu Dhabi
[Ref:M014]
Attention strata law specialists! The Real Estate practice at this top tier practice has wide ranging expertise spanning development, strata titling and structuring, investment, funding, retail, hospitality, facilities management and landlord and tenant transactions. The strata team is recognised as the pre-eminent supplier of strata title and development advisory services in the region. The team is now looking to strengthen and compliment its strata capability by the addition of a mid to senior level associate to support the increasing demand in this fast-growing area of the law. It is anticipated that the majority of the work will initially be undertaken in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The firm is one of the largest in the region and you will be part of the leading Real Estate teams, hosting an excellent client base and prominent position in the industry.
The ideal candidate will have specialised in strata title and development work and have relevant experience in advising developers on large scale complex community, mixed-use and multiple owned developments within an established strata title regime. You will also ideally have relevant experience in drafting constitutional and contractual documentation for community, mixed-use and multiple owned developments including community management statements, building management statements, association constitutions and 'off plan' sale and purchase agreements and disclosure statements. Direct experience of Middle East law is preferred but not essential, and many Australian lawyers find their knowledge off domestic strata laws highly relevant as much of the legislation has been modelled after the Australian experience.
