Steffen Böttcher

As a certified specialist in building and architects’ law, I primarily advise and represent medium-sized construction and civil engineering companies and architectural firms. One focus of my work is the representation of my clients in and out of court in all matters relating to private construction, architectural and works contract law.

With my expertise as a certified specialist in labour law, I also advise and represent medium-sized companies, particularly in the medical sector, medical care centres and doctors in all liability and employment law matters.

In the area of liability and insurance law, I regularly represent insurance companies.
