Planning, construction, sale, purchase, and drafting contracts for landlords, tenants or brokers: we support our clients in all phases of their real estate projects and with all relevant agreements. We have experience with projects of varying magnitudes, including commercial airports, skyscraper projects, stadiums and event venues, hotels and hospitals, industrial sites, infrastructure facilities, and housing and retail projects.

Our team of experts can answer all your planning and construction law questions. We support the German Federal Government, Laender governments and municipalities, private investors and developers, contractors and architects, and banks and investment funds throughout their projects.

We advise sellers, acquirers, and financing banks on the successful structure of real estate transactions. Our advice covers all aspects of the acquisition, sale, and financing.

Landlords and tenants rely on our expertise in drafting commercial lease agreements and during the tenancy.

We support real estate brokers and their customers by drafting, structuring, and negotiating agreements (advisory agreements, agency agreements, brokerage and exclusivity agreements, etc.). Our work enforcing claims for commission and defending against spurious claims is of note.
