Our expertise covers every stage of a project: from construction planning procedures, approvals and planning assessment proceedings, including state-imposed conditions and public participation, to project and development plans, urban planning agreements and environmental impact assessments.

Our lawyers for public construction and planning law not only advise on planning, structuring and implementing your project, they also highlight potential risks at an early stage, find appropriate solutions and support you when communicating with the authorities and third parties.
