Breyer Rechtsanwälte PartmbB advises developers and industrial companies throughout the entire cycle of large-scale construction projects, from awarding the contract to acceptance, and thus also covers all interface areas. With name partner Wolfgang Breyer, the group houses an expert in partnering models and FIDIC contracts, including those in an international context, while Michael Burdinski is one of the key contacts for private construction law, and Angelika Frohwein, in addition to expertise in construction contracts, also handles contentious matters. Representation in construction disputes is also part of Maximilian Regul's skill set, where he particularly assists with construction wage and defect proceedings. Public authorities and private construction companies often rely on Mario Verdugo Morales' expertise in procurement law. In October 2024, the Frankfurt team spun off and founded construction and real estate boutique offering THOMAS & PARTNER.
