Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH routinely cooperates with the procurement law and planning law teams and advises on construction law and project support. Capacities at the procurement law interface were strengthened with the arrival of Tobias Osseforth from LUTZ | ABEL RECHTSANWALTS PARTG MBB in January 2022; this expertise is regularly requested by public sector clients as well as project developers and investors in connection with infrastructure projects, including the construction of hospitals and energy-related projects. The team is led by Achim Meier, who is experienced in court and arbitration proceedings as well as construction law matters.
