Profile
Dr. Karlgeorg Stork has 20 years of experience in advising on all legal aspects of construction.
He supports his clients throughout the entire creation process of a property, including preparation and completion. His background of growing up in an architect’s household introduced him to the practical side of the business at an early age.
The drafting of contracts, legal project management including ongoing construction support and coordination at short notice in the event of problems during the construction process are just as much a part of his daily work as the subsequent legal work, which includes in particular the prosecution and defence of claims for contractor’s fees and damages, also on behalf of various liability insurers.
Dr. Karlgeorg Stork has many years of litigation experience and is very familiar with the courts’ construction chambers from his own regular experience. He is also highly regarded by insurers as a successful litigator. As a mediator, he develops goal-oriented solutions to avoid or resolve long-running court cases.
