As a construction and real estate lawyer Angela focuses in detail on openings in disputes that can make or break a case, in which an inch more or less can sometimes make a difference.
Angela is there for enterprises, municipalities and civil society organizations who deal with matters or procedures concerning complicated environmental laws. She also knows how to handle subsidies or planning impact, conducting complaint and appeal procedures, problems involving enforcement or coercive administrative action or environmental issues. If necessary she also takes administrative relations into account, as well as the – sometimes complex – political dimensions involved.
With Angela you will have a stronger position if you are active in development, realization and operation of health care and commercial real estate. Critically and with a keen eye for detail she assesses and draws up (cooperation) agreements between market parties or between market parties and government entities, most often municipalities.
In her leisure time Angela is a passionate dressage rider. She sees great similarities between horse power in action and lawsuits: the importance of clear communication and keeping one’s balance under the watchful eye of a jury, listening to one’s intuition and building trust. Those are crucial elements.
