Construction and architects’ law

Early, practical legal advice for construction projects in Luxembourg and Germany.

Legal work that belongs on site early.

Construction projects create legal questions long before a dispute reaches a court. Permits, tender documents, contracts, changes in scope, payment, defects and evidence require a clear allocation of responsibility.

Fritz Zahnd advises clients in public and private construction law, architects’ and engineers’ law, and real estate matters. The focus is on German-Luxembourg projects where technical work and two legal systems meet.

From the contract to the final account

Support can begin with contract drafting and continue through tendering, negotiations, construction progress and, where necessary, proceedings. The aim is to identify the issue while the files are still complete and the project can still be steered.
