Facility Management, especially the technical facility management (energy management, modernization, improvement, refurbishment, reconstruction and maintenance) and its legal foundation, such as the German Act for Energy Saving in Buildings (EnEG), the German Regulation for Energy Saving (EnEV), the German Procedures for Building Procurement, Contracts and Technical Standards (VOB/A, VOB/B, VOB/C, HOAI) and contract law has significant overlaps with construction law.
HFK Attorneys at Law is renown for its long-standing expertise in construction law, which also serves as the basis for our comprehensive and substantiated advise in the sector of facility management. In addition to the legal expertise, our attorneys also have the technical background necessary to truly understand the needs und interests of our clients. Because of this, we see the bigger picture beyond the legal detail and can offer to design facility management contracts comprehensively to meet the clients’ best interests by developing commercially workable solutions.
This is especially important, as the German legislator did not provide for a comprehensive or self-contained facility management law. Therefore, a variety of different laws, regulations as well as technical standards and directives have to be considered. We pride ourselves in making sense of the complex patchwork of rules involved to promote our clients individual interests.
