Dr Wolfgang Würfel > GSK Stockmann > Munich, Germany > Lawyer Profile

In addition to its expertise in advising municipalities on commercial administrative law and project-related climate protection aspects, GSK Stockmann is increasingly assisting large companies and public bodies with regulatory matters and constitutional proceedings. The practice’s policy-oriented advisory approach, which was further strengthened by the arrival of former Federal Minister of Justice Heiko Maas in January 2023, comes particularly into play in proceedings relating to the repeat of the Berlin election, network neutrality and in advice on the energy price cap. Jan Hennig, who is well versed in public construction and planning law, and energy and infrastructure lawyer Wolfgang cube jointly head the practice.

GSK Stockmann‘s broad team specialises in urban development and infrastructure projects and also assists a growing client base with sustainability project-related ESG issues. The expansion of energy and network infrastructure represents one of Andreas Geiger‘s mainstays, who, in addition to overseeing a high-profile matter for the approval of an LNG terminal, also advises on environmental and planning aspects of planned motorway routes and high-voltage networks. Geiger co-heads the practice with commercial development specialist Jan Hennig, who focuses on mixed-use developments and environmentally friendly conversion projects. Wolfgang Wuerfel, who is experienced in subsidy and pollution control law, is a renowned contact for land-use planning matters.

GSK Stockmann‘s client base primarily includes airports and seaports, which the group advises comprehensively on the public financing of their infrastructure projects. The team recently assisted with a project to expand port infrastructure for the operation of a liquid gas terminal and also represented the client in notification proceedings. In this context, companies particularly benefit from the expertise of transport infrastructure expert Arne Gniechwitz, who jointly leads the practice with Wolfgang Wuerfel; the latter mainly advises public sector clients on the state aid compliant structuring of financing initiatives. In July 2023, Friedrich Ludwig Hausmann (state aid with a focus on public infrastructure) left and is now self-employed.
