We advise building owners, landlords, tenants, floor owners, housing associations

A building project often involves many actors and possible difficulties are manifold. For example, what can you do as a builder-owner if you cannot reach an agreement with the contractor on the subsequent improvement, if there are delays in the schedule or additional costs in the construction project?

As a landlord, you wonder what leeway you have to change a rental contract. As a tenant, you are concerned about how you can defend yourself against the landlord if there are defects in the flat or business premises.

Our legal knowledge and many years of experience in the construction industry and in the real estate sector enable us to provide clients, general contractors, planning offices, architects, tenants and landlords with a business focused advice.
