In the context of large-scale construction projects, Loschelder also covers a variety of issues at the real estate interface, which is why investors, project developers, general contractors and insurers also turn to the team for project developments. Most recently, the practice applied its construction law advice, which is often linked to architectural law issues, to assist with office districts and urban development districts developments, hotels and shopping centers, as well as infrastructure projects. This is complemented by expertise in plant construction and industry-specific dispute resolution. Key contacts include Walter Klein, point of contact for insurance-related matters and thus major professional liability insurance claims, project development specialists Mirko Ehrich and Oliver Kerpen, and Robert Kessler, a litigation expert for plant construction. Söre Jötten handles infrastructure-related issues and Florian Dressel often assists clients and contractors with infrastructure and hospital construction projects.
