Planning, construction, acceptance, and warranty - classic construction law and architectural law

The tasks of the planner, construction supervisor, construction firms  and  subcontractors overlap and intertwine. High technical standards must be met, and the responsibilities of the parties involved are interwoven through a variety of duties to inform and warn.

Disruptions to the construction process, missed deadlines, and defects are neither clarified in good time nor adequately documented within the time constraints of the construction project. Commercially significant dimensions are quickly reached. The parties involved often attempt to shift the responsibility to each other. In the background, the insurance companies involved block sensible settlement solutions. Protracted disputes become apparent on a regular basis.

Avoiding disputes on the construction site

We assist in avoiding disputes and settling them out of court. One focal point of our practice is, therefore, drafting and negotiating construction, architectural and project development contracts, including general contractor and general transfer agreements. In this way, disputes and conflicts can be prevented during the construction process.

If disputes cannot be avoided, we help our clients maintain an overview  of things and  focus on commercially economically and legally crucial circumstances at an early stage, and to document them as far as necessary.. This is the key to a strong position at the negotiating table and in court.

You can expect from us a realistic assessment of the legal position and of your chances. We address weak points openly. If we do not think there are sufficient prospects of success, you receive a clear notice from us.

We leave hopeless building law disputes lasting for years to others. We want to win legal disputes.

We are convinced that successful construction law advice and representation, which already begins with contract negotiations, can only be provided by dedicated and experienced specialists. In our construction law team, all attorneys have many years of experience in the construction industry. We keep an eye on the development of case law. We discuss complex cases among colleagues on a regular basis. We give presentations among experts and deliver training for our clients, also to make cooperation more efficient than ever.
