Land Disputes

ONELAW represents clients in disputes involving rights to land plots, actions of public authorities, land acquisition, compensation, lease and use of real estate.

A land dispute may affect the right to use a plot, implementation of an investment project, construction, operation of property and preservation of assets. Title documents, cadastral data, decisions of public authorities and correct determination of jurisdiction are particularly important.

When ONELAW Can Assist

Disputes Concerning Rights to Land

Protecting clients in disputes involving ownership, possession, use and legality of allocation of a land plot.

Challenging Decisions of Public Authorities

Preparing complaints and court applications concerning unlawful allocation, acquisition, restriction or termination of land rights.

Acquisition of Land for Public Needs

ONELAW Approach

Land disputes require simultaneous analysis of legal and factual circumstances. It is not enough to rely solely on a decision of a public authority or a cadastral document; the grounds for allocation, boundaries, registration history and actual use must also be verified.

ONELAW examines the full set of documents and facts in order to establish a sustainable position and select the correct remedy.

Our task is to protect the client’s rights to land, real estate and the investment project, while minimising the risk of losing the asset or facing restrictions on its use.

Why Timely Action Matters

Delay may lead to changes in cadastral records, transfer of the plot to another person, commencement of construction, acquisition of the land or loss of the right to challenge a decision.

Prompt action allows the client to record violations, preserve evidence, identify the competent court and seek interim relief where necessary.
