Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH bolstered its offering for construction law with the addition of Lars Bollensen in March 2025. He joins a multi-office construction law group that is adept in advising on renovation and new construction projects, and has a mix of public sector and private investor clients. A recent focus for the group has been developing its capabilities in the burgeoning sector of data centre construction. Head of the department Achim Meier is a well regarded advisor for hospital projects, and Christian Zanner is an accomplished building and architecture law expert. Iris Glönkler also has an strong eye for building and architecture law and was promoted to the partnership in July 2024. Lisa Niesen and Annkathrin Egerer-Tratt are additional names to note.
