Architect law
The scope of tasks engineers and architects have to deal with is very diverse. Complex planning or construction work supervision involves a high liability risk. Often planners underestimate their obligations to give explanations and information, for instance, on public law approval risks or when drawing up building contracts.
We know the typical sources of errors and can provide you with advice about your obligations to perform. We fully represent your interests vis-à-vis customers or specialist planners and contractors but also when enforcing a claim for cover against your liability insurance.
Potential customers often expect extensive and detailed planning work to be free-of-charge canvassing. Due to the great number of competitors it is often not possible to agree and realize an adequate fee in accordance with the binding price regulation laws.
Benefit from our competence in issues relating to remuneration and legal fees. We can offer you advice and representation of your interests in the following areas:
- Drawing up contracts according to the HOAI [German Schedule of Fees for Architects and Engineers]
- Issuing a verifiable fee invoice
- Enforcement of claims for fees.
Copyrights are playing a more and more important role in planning services. We will be pleased to advise you should you have any questions concerning the scope and the possibilities of copyright protection.
