Introduction
Rudolf Häusler advises and represents clients in matters of environmental law and construction and building law – from the initial idea to the completion/commissioning of a project.
His work is mainly of an advisory nature, dealing with complex building projects and government and private development planning, in the context of longstanding client relationships. Industrial companies, municipal utilities, project developers, building owners, investors and neighbours seek his advice. They all appreciate the breadth and depth of his expertise, his persuasiveness and determination.
In the JUVE Handbook of Commercial Law Firms, Rudolf Häusler is regularly recommended for environmental and planning law. In 2023, the Handelsblatt, also, again named Rudolf Häusler “Best Lawyer” in the field of “Public Building and Planning Law”.
Rudolf Häusler is a member of the PUBLIC LAW team at Glock Liphart Probst & Partner.
Profile
Working at the interface between law and science and technology, Rudolf Häusler has a long and successful track record of making projects possible by gaining the necessary approvals.
He routinely works in an interdisciplinary team with the client, architect, planner, cost estimator, expert and others. His daily work consists of the preparation of documents, drafting applications, agreements, contracts, considerations for municipal bylaws and providing solution-oriented input, as well as negotiating with government representatives and political office holders; litigation is the exception.
He supports the initial development of newly zoned areas as well as the conversion of disused industrial sites and the redevelopment of inner-city properties, as well as projects of industrial companies or municipal utility providers for the approval of technical facilities, groundwater wells, environmental remediation and raw material extraction. In addition, he advises on individual building projects from conception to inauguration.
