Construction Law

Construction is a multifaceted world, where completing works is subject to complex legal regulations. Are you familiar with the legal opportunities and risks?

Our approach

The lawyers in the Construction Law team have extensive knowledge of the construction industry and have extensive experience in both advising and litigating. Finding pragmatic and constructive solutions is paramount in every case.

Our Construction Law team is unique in that both public and private construction law have a place within our practice. A subject such as the Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb), in which both public and private construction law play a role, is therefore in the right hands with us. Our portfolio also includes dispute resolution within construction law, both in the courts and courts of appeal and before the Arbitration Council for the Construction Industry.

We have also developed special expertise in the (technical) installation industry. This can include the design and construction of industrial complexes or parts thereof (such as production lines and the like), renovation of technical installations (maintenance of tanks and piping systems, heat and cold insulation of piping systems and the like).
