Advice in construction and architectural law is characterized by complex contractual structures, tight schedules, and high economic expectations. Our experts at FGvW support building owners, architects, engineers, and construction companies in structuring projects with legal certainty from the outset and managing risks early on.
We advise on all aspects of contract drafting—from construction contracts under the German Civil Code (BGB) or the German Construction Contract Procedures (VOB) to architect and engineer contracts, as well as amendments and fee-related issues. During construction, we assist our clients in resolving technical and economic disputes, support them in enforcing or defending against claims, and represent them in court proceedings as well as in mediation or arbitration proceedings. We place particular emphasis on the careful assessment of defects, responsibilities, and liability consequences.
Thanks to our many years of experience in construction and architectural law, we accurately assess complex situations and develop targeted solutions. Our approach is always geared toward avoiding conflicts, stabilizing processes, and bringing construction projects to a successful conclusion.
