Dr Frederic Tewes

Frederic Tewes advises domestic and foreign clients on all aspects of real estate law as well as building and architectural law.

Frederic Tewes provides advice to our clients throughout the entire life cycle of a property or plant. Therefore, his specific advisory services include all matters relating to building, architectural and real estate law and the judicial enforcement and defence of claims, from the purchase, the financing, planning and construction phases and use up to and including the sale and beyond.
