Construction and
Real Estate

We support our clients on all construction and real estate issues, throughout the value chain of the project.

Together with our clients, we examine the development prospects and create the necessary legal structures. When drafting the project contracts, we keep an eye on the interfaces between the parties involved. And during the construction phase, we advise on the relevant risks and develop solutions for the project’s successful completion.

Architects and Engineers

We assist architects and engineers, as well as public and private employers, in contract drafting and negotiations. We enforce and defend against payment and damage claims and represent our clients in and out of court.

Our practice includes:
