Pontarius Law


Pontarius Law

Pontarius Law combines the advantages of business-oriented law and classic engineering know-how. We specialize in the legal issues that arise in the practical realities of ongoing construction, development, infrastructure expansion or procurement processes. We work with the company’s construction managers, designers, landscape architects and other technical areas to provide consulting services that integrate legal and technical expertise.
By integrating technical expertise with an in-depth legal understanding, we create better conditions for the project to run smoothly right from the start. This benefits not only those working on the project, but also all those who are affected in various ways by its implementation and outcome.
We regularly conduct training courses, where we, together with Pontarius’ civil engineering consultants, can offer tailor-made training initiatives with a combined focus on law and technology.
