Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH complements its advisory services in private construction and architectural law with expertise in procurement and planning law, resulting in frequent instructions by the public sector, but also by investors, to assist with renovation and new construction projects, including school building programs. The practice is equally adept at advising on hospital construction projects; an area that practice head Achim Meier is dedicated to, who also assists universities and construction companies with the construction of new facilities. Meier, like the team in general, also represents clients in court and out-of-court proceedings, while placing a focus on supplementary claims and developing claim strategies.
