Construction

Industry specialists with technical and business know-how

Bridging the gap between technology and law

In construction projects, uncertainties and disputes between all parties involved can occur at almost any stage. Many risks can be minimized considerably by addressing and dealing with them early on in the process. This is where the experience of our experts, who have been involved in many national and international construction projects, plays a key role. Furthermore, if legal advice and support becomes necessary during the course of a project, our lawyers become the unifying link between technology and law given their experience and backgrounds in both areas.

From start to finish, there are often changes that those involved in a project must deal with. What kinds of changes can be made to a project, if any, and under what conditions, must be verified. Deviations often lead to a project either costing more, taking longer, or both. We support clients in dealing with, and working through, such additional expenses. Even when a project is completed, the need for support does not automatically end. After completion, liability and warranty issues usually come into play, and when they do, we support our clients in identifying and enforcing their rights. In doing so, we represent our clients before courts, arbitration tribunals and in mediation.

We know what contractors and employers need from their legal advice because we understand our clients’ industries and deliver tailor-made solutions fast.

Wolf Theiss has excellent strength in handling the full life-cycle of construction projects, especially those relating to the energy, infrastructure and transport sectors. With its expertise in disputes the firm complements its services.
