Loschelder offers the support in large-scale construction projects and acts in close cooperation with the real estate law team. Among the client roster are institutional investors, project developers, general contractors and insurers, which the practice supports in urban developments, traditional construction law matters as well as in acquisitions, project developments, rentals and sales. Recent instructions include the advice on urban district developments and on numerous projects across the logistics and infrastructure sectors as well as plant construction projects. The core team includes Walter Klein (advice on major claims and construction insurance law issues), Oliver Kerpen (real estate law), Robert Kessler (advice and litigation pertaining to plant construction) and Mirko Ehrich (advising general contractors on commercial and hotel projects). The partner appointment of Söre Jötten in January 2023 strengthened the capacities in construction-related litigation; he focuses on disputes in connection with infrastructure measures. At the same time, Florian Dressel joined from Kapellmann und Partner; he specialises in construction support of infrastructure and hospital projects as well as in ESG-related topics.
