My specialties

Construction law

The construction and real estate sector is an anchor of stability and a driver of growth for the German economy. At the same time, it fulfills an essential function for society as a whole: it creates a livable living and working environment and the necessary infrastructure for a community. Construction and real estate law is characterized by a large number of legal standards, whereby the boundary between legal and technical regulations is fluid. In addition, digital and sustainable solutions are also playing an increasingly important role here and are politically prescribed. In this complex environment, we provide you with comprehensive, targeted and specialized advice so that you are prepared for the legal challenges that arise in construction projects.

Real Estate

We deal with all important issues relating to real estate and advise our clients in particular on real estate transactions, project developments and asset management. Our team masters the development and management of large-scale real estate projects – from planning to execution and marketing to realization.

Building smart

Building is technically complex. At the same time, it should be sustainable. The set deadline and budget targets should be met. At the moment, construction projects too often end in disputes over supplements or defects and none of the targets set are achieved. At the same time, the world is becoming more digital. Smart building is the order of the day and we provide the necessary legal tools.

Labor and Employment Law

As a specialist lawyer for employment law, I advise companies and executives on all matters relating to employment law. We support you in the development of personnel and remuneration models and help you to develop tailor-made concepts for your company. Our clients appreciate the fact that we provide straightforward answers and develop pragmatic solutions as a daily point of contact for management and the HR department.

More about me

The focus of my work is the supervision of complex large-scale construction projects. I advise clients, investors and construction companies during the construction process and also represent my clients in court if necessary. To do this, a lawyer must understand what he is talking about and have the ability to present complex business, construction or interpersonal issues correctly and convincingly. I understand my clients, their business and their goals. For me, communicating optimally for my clients is the basis of first-class legal advice.

My specialties

Labor and Employment Law

We advise companies and executives on all aspects of employment law. We support you in drafting contracts, developing personnel and remuneration models and help you to develop tailor-made concepts for your company. Our clients appreciate the fact that we develop pragmatic and tailor-made solutions as a daily point of contact for management and the HR department.

Compliance

Companies, their executive bodies and employees have to know and observe a large number of sometimes complex rules. If violations occur, there is not only the threat of criminal and civil law consequences, but often also reputational damage and business losses. The scope of the rules, their complexity and the level of sanctions have been steadily increasing for years. At the same time, companies are losing money because they are not taking advantage of business opportunities due to excessive caution. With our many years of experience, we help you to identify and objectively assess risks without ignoring or over-dramatizing them.

Construction law

Construction and real estate law is characterized by a particularly high number of legal standards, whereby the boundary between legal and technical regulations is fluid. In addition, digital and sustainable solutions are also playing an increasingly important role here and are politically prescribed.

Our team is proficient in the development and management of large-scale real estate projects – from planning to execution and sales through to realization.

More about me

In my work as a lawyer, the focus is on finding solutions. These solutions must be one thing above all: feasible and sensible in every respect.

Solving legal problems is always a question of strategy – your own (corporate) strategy and a legal strategy. Economic and legal risks must be avoided.

I support you with the right consulting strategy to solve your legal issues sensibly without losing sight of your strategy.

Career

I studied law at the Universities of Marburg, Canterbury (U.K.) and Freiburg. During my studies, I worked as a research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law. After graduating, I was a research assistant to Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hohloch at the Institute for Foreign and International Private Law at the University of Freiburg.

I completed my doctorate on the topic of liability law “The Prevention Principle of Tort Law” at the University of Tübingen under Prof. Dr. Gottfried Schiemann. During my legal clerkship, I worked at Thiedmann & Edler in Chicago, II, a law firm specializing in advising European clients in their native language.

I have been working as a lawyer since 2001. I am active as a speaker in my specialist areas and regularly publish articles and comments on current decisions.

Bartsch Rechtsanwälte at the EXPO Real in Munich

From October 4 to 6, the largest real estate trade fair EXPO Real took place again in Munich. Investors, project developers and construction companies from all over the world met to exchange experiences.

Our partner, the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion, was also represented there with its own stand and we had many opportunities to talk to clients and interested parties and share our experience and knowledge.

This year in Munich, around 1,900 exhibitors from 36 countries presented their services to 40,000 participants with a focus on sustainability, digitalization and the transformation of the real estate industry.

Advoselect webinar, topic: Energy and heat

Energy security, energy supply and energy prices are not only an economic issue, but also present us with legal challenges.

The law firms in the Europe-wide Advoselect network of lawyers have therefore taken up this issue. In five short articles, you will learn interesting facts about rental and lease agreements for solar and wind power plants, about intra-European energy trading, but also about an important topic for local authorities and investors, namely the possibilities accelerated by politics to designate areas for wind power use.

Our partner Alexander Hoff spoke about this (in the video from minute 41). We look forward to receiving your suggestions.

Karlsruhe Expert Forum convenes

“It is not legal arguments, but technical know-how that decides the legal dispute” – this provocative thesis proves to be true in numerous construction lawsuits, which are often less about legal issues than about construction details and technically complex contexts. The work of court-appointed experts is therefore of particular importance in these proceedings. Our partner Alexander Hoff gave the opening lecture at this year’s annual conference and highlighted the particular challenges for the parties involved in the proceedings when it comes to dealing with technical issues in court proceedings.

A big thank you to the organizers, especially the Fachverband Glas Fenster Fassade Baden-Württemberg, for the professional preparation and implementation and a compliment to all the live and online listeners for the committed discussion and the first-class contributions.

Making city centers more attractive – but how?

The IHK Karlsruhe organized a symposium on this topic on 22.11.2022, at which our partner, lawyer Dr. Alexander Hoff, gave a lecture.

Dying retail trade, precarious housing situations, neglected building fabric and deficiencies in safety and order – many municipalities complain that their city centers are affected. What to do?

Alexander Hoff outlined the legal options available to stop the decline and make city centers more attractive. The audience was particularly interested in the possibility of improving the attractiveness of certain neighbourhoods through self-organized neighbourhood communities of owners and also taking advantage of government assistance.

A big thank you to the IHK’s real estate and location development working group for taking on this important topic of inner city design!

Real estate and city centers – IHK Karlsruhe event

What are the prospects for inner-city commercial units? Vacant retail spaces, falling visitor numbers in city centers and deserted town centers – the pandemic has greatly accelerated this transformation process.

Specialist lawyer for public procurement law

The Karlsruhe Bar Association has authorized our colleague, lawyer Sabine Przerwok, to use the title “Specialist lawyer for public procurement law”.
