Legal fields / Construction and architectural law in Germany

Construction and architectural law in Germany

Construction and architectural law in Germany is complex and regulates contracts, liability and remuneration. Errors in planning or execution can result in high costs. We advise builders, companies and architects on contract design, claims for defects and disputes – for legally secure projects without any nasty surprises.

We also advise you on Danish building and architectural law – from contract drafting to claims for defects.

Key aspects

Construction projects are demanding – both legally and economically. Whether you are a construction company, investor or architect, clear contracts, secure permits and efficient risk management are crucial to success. We support companies in drafting contracts, enforcing or defending against claims, and in matters of architect and engineer liability. Companies that operate across borders benefit particularly from our experience in German-Danish construction law. With pragmatic solutions and clear communication, we ensure legal certainty in every phase of the project.
