Profile

In addition to the public law part of property transactions or parcelling, Mr. Frister advises on all issues relating to building permission and urban land use planning procedures as well as the urban development or – in the case of projects in built-up areas – public law contracts, such as land transfers to municipalities, land improvement or social purpose dedication agreements.

The main focus of his practice is therefore building regulations and zoning law, including all closely related areas of law, such as immission control law, nature conservation law, monument conservation law and water law.

Thomas Frister usually advises his clients from the very beginning of a project. He supports projects proactively, always keeping an eye on the project goal, while also taking commercial and other non-legal aspects into consideration. In this, he is helped not only by his excellent professional network, but also by his access to contacts at the municipal level.

Thomas Frister is also very experienced in litigation. His work includes permit-related neighbour disputes – in particular in connection with projects he is involved in – as well as the examination of standards and the conclusion of neighbour agreements to secure the execution of projects.
