GSK Stockmann
GSK Stockmann's broad team specialises in urban development and infrastructure projects and also assists a growing client base with sustainability project-related ESG issues. The expansion of energy and network infrastructure represents one of Andreas Geiger's mainstays, who, in addition to overseeing a high-profile matter for the approval of an LNG terminal, also advises on environmental and planning aspects of planned motorway routes and high-voltage networks. Geiger co-heads the practice with commercial development specialist Jan Hennig, who focuses on mixed-use developments and environmentally friendly conversion projects. Wolfgang Wuerfel, who is experienced in subsidy and pollution control law, is a renowned contact for land-use planning matters.
