Land Development and Urban Renewal

We assist clients in navigating the legal complexities of land development, urban renewal, and relocation projects, with a focus on balancing the interests of all stakeholders. Our services span every critical stage—from preliminary project planning and policy interpretation to implementation and dispute resolution.

Our legal services include:

  • Legal advisory

    We provide legal support on the expropriation of collective land, land reserve procedures, and the granting of state-owned land use rights. We help clients understand and apply relevant land-related policies to ensure lawful and compliant project execution.

  • Legal due diligence and reporting

    We conduct thorough legal due diligence on land ownership, historical land use, compensation status, and potential disputes. We issue formal due diligence reports to support informed decision-making.

  • Urban renewal model design and policy application

    For projects such as village-in-city redevelopment, old city renewal, and industrial park upgrades, we assist in assessing legal feasibility and designing compliant implementation models that align with current regulatory frameworks.

  • Compliance review and risk control for relocation plans

    We evaluate the legal risks associated with proposed relocation and compensation plans and issue compliance opinions regarding the project’s alignment with applicable laws and policies, including the market entry of collectively owned land, PPP project compliance, and pilot policies for urban renewal.

  • Transaction structuring and joint development arrangements

    We design cooperation models for land consolidation and joint development. Our legal support covers transaction paths, organizational structure, tax optimization, and cash flow planning to minimize legal and commercial risks.

  • Financing and collaboration with financial institutions

    We advise on project financing structures and assist in drafting agreements for loans, equity investment, trusts, and funds. We also provide compliance solutions for regulatory issues.

  • Relocation negotiations and dispute resolution

    We support clients in negotiating compensation, drafting relocation agreements, and handling complex implementation challenges. We represent clients in various types of disputes arising from expropriation and relocation, including administrative reconsideration, litigation, and enforcement objections. In cases involving complex historical entitlements—such as legacy ownership or disputed rights—we help clarify property entitlements and identify legally compliant and practical solutions.
