Legal expertise in construction and real estate
Major projects, innovations, urban expansions or private residential construction require forward-looking and economical solutions in an area that is heavily regulated by law. This means that the German construction industry is constantly operating at the interface between law and technology.
The lawyers at MKM LEGAL represent and advise companies in the construction industry, architects as well as local authorities, investors and banks in the planning and realisation of construction projects. We focus in particular on the review, drafting and negotiation of complex contracts and contract structures. We also pay particular attention to the interests of the civil engineering industry in the context of municipal tenders and public procurement procedures in accordance with VOB/A. We support our clients through all phases of their projects, solve project-related legal problems and handle dispute resolution.
Construction, infrastructure and energy are facing new challenges.
