Commercial Tenancy Law
Tenancy agreements, particularly in the commercial sector, are usually designed for long-term contractual relationships and are therefore of enormous economic significance for both contracting parties. Forward-looking and legally secure contract drafting tailored to the specific needs of the contracting parties is thus essential.

Lease and Brokerage Law
We stand by your side with our specialized expertise for both lease and brokerage law questions. To ensure a stable and harmonious relationship between the contracting parties of a lease agreement, it is essential to create a fair balance of interests between lessor and lessee already in the contract drafting stage. In brokerage law, the distinction between a discovery broker agreement and a mediation broker agreement is also important, particularly since the introduction of the client principle, which plays a key role in verifying any potential commission claims.
