Building law
Development and realization of construction projects entail numerous challenges. The interaction of numerous parties as well as the desire for maximum quality with ever increasing claims to time and cost reductions involve risks and potential conflicts.
Objective and claim of the specialist group "Private building law, property planning, and construction" is to prevent conflicts and to keep risks to a minimum through preparing and structuring the planning and construction phase with legal certainty. Due to our many years in various industries, we provide individual and workable solutions for structural and civil engineering as well as for plant construction projects.
We take care of development and negotiation of contractual documents for clients, entrepreneurs, and planners, and of preparing tender processes as well as project-related legal advise during implementation and use of construction projects. We represent our clients' interests both in and out of court throughout the country.
Our focus is on the life cycle of a project. Our specially trained contacts are available to you from site planning, via acquisition, construction or refurbishing of a property as well as commercial use and disposal of real estate. In interdisciplinary teams, we offer solutions for building law issues as well as for issues under commercial and private tenancy law
