Construction and Real Estate Law

Sustainability and digitalisation demand creative solutions and investments.

PwC Legal’s Real Estate Team supports medium-sized and large companies, real estate investors, the public sector, industrial companies and the energy industry in their real estate and construction/plant engineering projects.

The current challenges with regard to transformation processes – triggered by digitalisation, globalisation, energy efficiency requirements, resource turnaround, high competitive pressure and rising construction costs – require customised advice at the highest level.

The Real Estate Team works closely and efficiently with the various advisory firms and teams of PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft and PwC Legal. This results in a uniquely comprehensive understanding and outstanding expertise for the projects and challenges of the clients. The resulting advice is efficient and forward-looking, as if from a single source.
