Weingarten

"The aim of legal counselling in construction should be avoiding disputes. This starts with the contract design. The contract design must be practice-oriented and stand up in court. Long-standing experience in court is thus essential for good contract design. It is also essential, that the consultant understands technical and economic matters. Along with the contract design, subsequent ongoing legal support is of great importance. What was contractually agreed has to be enforced on-site and adapted to the dynamic process of a construction project. Here, avoiding disputes or mediating in disputes represent the main focus. I can draw on long-standing experience, both in court and out of court, enjoy the design of legal problems in the realisation of construction projects and am always available on-site. Technical and economic understanding as well as solution-oriented work are my strengths."
