Our clients can count on our support regarding all legal matters pertaining to their profession and during all phases of their projects. Our comprehensive and broad experience with all aspects of their planning work and with the requirements they must meet result in a deep understanding of the framework conditions within which our clients pursue their activities. This is the basis on which we contribute our legal Expertise. Our advice will be prompt, sensible, and practical – we know how planning work is done and what economic ramifications the (legal) issues concerned may have. In other words, our services reflect the entrepreneurial needs of our clients. Our decades of experience allow us to recognize typical risks of conflicts early on, and to develop – if needed – unconventional solutions. Using these approaches, we have often been able to influence legal developments to the benefit of our clients.
