Real Estate and Construction

The real estate and construction industry in the Maldives is characterized by progress. In these years, several complex and cost-intensive construction projects are being realized. An increasing number of these projects are organized as public-private partnerships. Advising players in the construction industry requires in-depth knowledge of the legal, financial, and environmental legislation.
