“For me, project management is not just a word. It’s a promise.”
“Whether it’s a plant construction project, corporate transaction or company and asset succession. With me, you have an experienced and conscientious advisor at your side. When drafting contracts and deeds, I attach great importance to your comprehensive legal protection. So that your position is secure – even decades after project completion, if necessary. “
Dear Friedrich, what does our promise “To make it simple, but significant” mean to you?
“Good advice never works on a selective basis. Neither does it help to look at only part of a project nor to concentrate exclusively on one (sub-)area of law. I can only add economic value for my clients if I assess the entire complexity of a project and gradually transform it into solutions. Without haste, with a clear view of the goal and a firm ethical compass”
Valued in corporate law and plant engineering
“I am delighted that both clients and market players regularly recommend me in these two very different areas.”
Regular mention in the category of construction law (plant construction is not a separate category there)
Named under the “Region West” and in “Corporate law”

What was a milestone in my career?
“A personal highlight? The helicopter flight over the power plant for which I was responsible for the plant construction contracts – a moment that impressively shows how close legal work can be to the pulse of major industrial projects.”
