We have been advising and representing German and non-German purchasers and contractors for many years on drafting and negotiating machine acquisition agreements and plant engineering contracts and on resolving disputes arising in connection with plant construction projects.
We are experienced advisors and counselors for machinery and plant construction projects. We also litigate disputes on behalf of our clients that arise from these types of projects.
Because of our long history with machinery and plant construction projects, we have a good understanding of the background for these types of projects; we also know the customs and legal issues that may arise in this industry. This applies both to German projects as well as to global projects.
German and international clients rely on our advice when drafting EPC agreements, supply agreements, general contractor agreements, or turnkey agreements, whether in Germany or outside of Germany. For example, we advise clients in the areas of power plant construction, conveyor technology, and printing machines. We review contracts for the procurement of complex manufacturing equipment and packaging machines and represent operators of wind farms and solar parks.
We, of course, advise in German and English and are well-versed technologically and have the know-how for the project or dispute at issue.
