Clifford Chance particularly often advises on national, but frequently cross-border project developments and plant construction projects with a particular focus on the energy sector. The team further frequently assists national and international clients with project contracts and in related contentious proceedings. In plant construction, the practice focuses on advising clients from the oil and gas, pharmaceutical and automotive sectors. The team is jointly headed by consultant Michael Kremer, who is experienced in contentious proceedings related to plant construction, and Kristina Jaeger, who covers various real estate law interfaces in addition to private construction law and is therefore the key contact for project developments.
