Kapellmann und Partner

In the context of structural and civil engineering projects as well as infrastructure projects, Kapellmann und Partner advises both contracting authorities and contractors throughout the entire life cycle of a building, including development and planning, construction and financing, and subsequent operation. The practice is equally well versed in plant construction, covering all project phases and focusing on industrial plants and technical trades. Ralf Steding and Gerolf Sonntag are responsible for this area, while Claus von Rintelen also advises on the construction and operation of plants and further offers litigation experience that is called upon by insurers, seeking advice on claim enforcement among other matters. The group's dispute resolution expertise in the plant construction sphere was further strengthened with the arrival of Alessandro Covi in January 2024 from Herbert Smith Freehills LLP; he is particularly experienced in arbitration proceedings. Alongside the aforementioned partners, Werner Langen (construction contracts, architects' and engineers' law, out-of-court conflict resolution) also heads the practice, while of counsel Klaus Eschenbruch, key contact for tax matters in connection with project developments as well as for construction contract issues, and Martin Wittemeier, who covers the interface between construction and architects' law and plant engineering, are other names to note.
