Introduction

Urban planning and commercial development are at the heart of Wilhelm’s public law practice, particularly in relation to its distribution law expertise.

After decades of assisting major chains, developers and estates in their establishment and expansion projects, essentially dictated by business needs, the firm is now assisting clients with the changes needed to achieve their projects.

Beyond the firm’s traditional advice provided in structuring transactions, performing due diligence and acting in dispute resolution, it provides complete support in the consideration that should be given to choosing sites, in the analysis of urban planning and zoning documents and in weighing new environmental constraints.

This know-how allows the firm to frequently act in large commercial projects that impact the development of real urban neighborhoods or the restructuring of existing commercial zones.
