Construction, Real Estate and Leasing

Our partners have specialist knowledge of both civil and hydraulic engineering and of residential and non-residential construction under relevant general terms and conditions (UAV 2012, UAV-GC 2005, DNR 2011 and RAW and STABU.)

We can provide you with tailor-made advice on how to draft and negotiate a range of agreements (such as construction contracts, consultancy agreements, framework agreements, cooperation agreements and implementation agreements). We also have extensive experience of both traditional contracts based on the UAV 2012 and with complex, integrated (PPP) contracts (D&C, DB(F)M(O), turnkey) including on under the UAC-GC 2005.

Legaltree is not only an adviser. You may also instruct us for a wide range of construction disputes, such as delay losses, extensions of time limits, defects on completion, interpretation of specifications and contracts, premature termination of building contracts and maintenance defects. Our specialised lawyers have years of experience in litigating before the Arbitration Board for the Building Industry and the civil courts.

Often projects or disputes also have a public law aspect. At Legaltree you will find expertise in the fields of environmental law and general constitutional law and administrative law, including spatial planning, the environment, nature conservation and the translation of these matters into contracts with the public authorities. We are also familiar with aspects of spatial administrative law in a stricter sense: environmental permits, zoning plans and enforcement.
