Ursula von Minckwitz

MEK Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH is a team of specialised lawyers based in Munich and Frankfurt. The firm manages real estate developments from the idea through to realisation and marketing. By focusing on these core competencies, MEK provides first-class legal advice.

Ursula von Minckwitz is a managing partner of MEK. Since 1994 she has worked exclusively on the field of construction, real estate and architects’ law. Her core activities are contract design as well as legal counselling throughout major project development. During three years of practical experience in a large project management company, she has supported several cross-disciplinary projects. As legal counsel throughout building projects, she consults leading project management agencies and clients all over Germany on issues of hindrances, defects, acceptance, utilisation of chattels, etc.

Ms von Minckwitz noted: “We have the necessary experience to secure the success of your project. We are experts on this field since 1997, and we have managed a project volume of more than 1 billion Euros during that time.

”We are working close to the pulse of time. We are always directly informed of the latest changes in law or on the market, thanks to our representation in associations, organisations and boards specific to this industry. We can respond quickly to these changes and co-design new developments.

“Courts are still the wrong place to solve your problems from the project and construction process. Avoiding disputes is a must for MEK. We concentrate on provident, proactive advice. You may also rely on our experiences as conciliators, arbitrators and mediators.”

One of MEK‘s core activities is construction and legal counselling throughout building projects – solving legal problems through all phases of the project, from the development, planning and construction to the final revision.

“Our lawyers consult not only the builders,“ said Ms von Minckwitz, “but also companies involved in the project, as well as project managers and project controllers, general managers and general contractors, architects; engineers and building companies, mainly in large commercial construction and reconstruction projects.“

In addition, MEK maintains a significant client case, taking into count the diversity of the players in the real estate market as well as their varying legal requirements.

Ms von Minckwitz concluded: “As different as the players on the real estate market are, as different are their requirements for legal advice. We at MEK know the specific needs of the different stakeholders in the industry, and we offer finely adjusted counselling at  the highest level.“
