CMS Derks Star Busmann

Real Estate - Distinctively European

The property market takes no account of national borders. International companies carefully scrutinize the possibilities of expanding or contracting their businesses, whether to invest or to restructure. No easy task when you have to deal with differing cultures, regulations and tax regimes. A search for legal knowhow in one's home country is hard enough. But it becomes even more difficult - or even more challenging - when business must be done in a European country that's legally unknown territory. Or when a European property company wishes to do business in the Netherlands.

The international CMS organization

CMS Derks Star Busmann is part of the international CMS organization that has an unmatched spread of offices across the whole of Europe. All these offices are well-reputed in their home country for their national strength given their deep roots in the culture, legislation and industries including property. CMS' Real Estate Practice Groups work closely together with each other. Clients who have specific wishes in various countries profit in this way from seamlessly integrated cross-border advice that owes its existence in part to the result of a shared culture and history. These are the factors that make CMS distinctively European.
