Stephan Finck
Areas of practice
The focus area of Stephan Finck’s advisory activities is the structuring, planning and implementation of complex real estate projects and the associated comprehensive advisory services, in particular in the areas of architectural, private building and public procurement law. Due to his project experience, he always bears in mind the relevant public building law issues and important aspects regarding the structuring of project companies, as well as subsidies, financing, state aid and operations. Due to his in-depth knowledge of the market on both the client and the contractor side, his particular strength lies in his ability to draft and negotiate practicable contracts that take all parties’ interests into account.
Vita

Br. and Leipzig (both Germany) and then carried out his legal training at the Regional Court of Essen (Germany) and the German University of Administrative Sciences in Speyer (Germany). He joined Luther in 2006 and initially worked for the Essen office before moving to Luther’s Leipzig office in 2012, where the focus of his work is on Central Germany.
Stephan Finck is a lecturer on building law topics at Europäisches Bildungszentrum der Wohnungs- und Immobilienwirtschaft (EBZ), a training centre of the housing and real estate sectors.
