LUTZ | ABEL RECHTSANWALTS PARTG MBB‘s construction and real estate practice group has a polyptych of focuses: advice to contractors on infrastructure projects; representation of well-known large and medium-sized construction companies as contractors; providing comprehensive support for public and private construction projects of all sizes on the client side; and dispute resolution, both in and out of court. Recent highlights have included major transport infrastructure projects, as well as healthcare facilities construction. At the helm of the practice, Wolfgang Abel is a renowned figure for tunnel, motorway and other infrastructure projects. The firm’s Stuttgart office is establishing itself as a key hub for construction law, with Ulrich Eix and Daniel Junk being the key figures there. Julian Stahl and Steffen Krämer are additional contacts to note. Vera Lederer departed for an in-house position in March 2025.
