Rittershaus' strong team is particularly adept at assisting with urban development and infrastructure projects; the practice portfolio includes land use planning and approval proceedings as well as comprehensive advice on building plans, emissions, noise and species protection in connection with residential construction projects. The group places a particular focus on future-oriented construction projects and not only advises on sustainable project development of commercial areas, but also increasingly on buildings rights in the wind power and photovoltaic sphere, with Wolfgang Patzelt being particularly visible. Practice head Hartmut Fischer is a sought-after contact especially for complex land-use planning issues.
