The dedicated construction law practice at CMS is a standout destination for clients requiring advice on major energy projects that cover the full spectrum of traditional and renewable developments. More broadly, the group has a focus on plant construction and is active in various industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals and automotive manufacturing. One notable niche of the team’s offering is its promotion of alternative forms of contractual cooperation, seeking to promote centralised workflows. Martin Krause takes leadership of the department and is well regarded for architectural and engineering matters, and private construction law. Plant construction is the focus for Nicolai Ritter, while at a more junior level, Turid König and Katja Küpper encapsulate the firm’s strength in depth for construction law advice.
