PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUILDING LAW

Real Estate Law for Companies in All Industries

Those who build think big: A construction project ties up a great deal of capital and resources, spans years, and brings many stakeholders together. We support our clients from industry, project development, and the public sector in this process. They build facilities, logistics centers, and production halls; they plan administrative buildings, commercial properties, hospitality projects, infrastructure, and special-purpose structures; and they develop projects, make investments, or award public contracts.

Our specialists guide your project from the initial idea to the completed construction, taking into account all aspects of civil and public law. In this way, we support you with building land development, the entire project development process, and legal counsel throughout the construction process. We know what matters most in real estate projects and plant construction. Together with our clients, our goal is to provide projects with the legal framework necessary to ensure that quality, schedule, and budget requirements are met. Our clients value our entrepreneurial mindset and our understanding of how the law, the construction process, and the market interact. We guide your decisions with foresight and legal acumen. In doing so, we work closely with our colleagues specializing in real estate, corporate, public, and procurement law to provide you with comprehensive advice from a single source.

Establishment of Building Rights

We provide consulting services at the intersection of business and government, and ensure planning certainty for your project.

As specialists in public construction law, we support building owners, investors, and municipalities from the initial feasibility study through to successful approval. Our team expertly handles all legal issues related to construction planning and building codes to ensure your projects move forward in full compliance with the law.

Whether it’s securing approval for building permits, drafting urban planning agreements, or providing support throughout zoning plan procedures—we’re here to work with you as partners.

We understand the perspective of the public sector—in its roles as both the approving authority and the project owner.

Contract Drafting

We advise our clients right from the start on selecting the appropriate contract and procurement model (individual contracts, general contractor/general manager models, and GMP contracts). We then negotiate contracts with architects, engineers, project managers, and construction companies.

Consulting Services Throughout the Project

Another of our strengths lies in providing consulting services throughout the course of a project. Our primary focus here is on identifying potential conflicts early on, avoiding disputes as much as possible, and providing the best possible support to ensure that the decisions necessary for the project’s success are made in a timely manner. We often serve as part of our clients’ project teams, supporting the project through interdisciplinary collaboration with project managers, construction engineers, construction contractors, and experts.

For situations where conflicts cannot be resolved by other means, we have experienced litigation attorneys on our team. In complex out-of-court or court disputes, they draw on their many years of experience in managing large-scale projects on behalf of both clients and contractors, and use this expertise to your advantage.
