New ESCL Member "ARGE Baurecht"
We are very pleased that the ESCL has grown. At this year's General Assembly, ARGE Baurecht from Germany was admitted to the ESCL. We would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce our new member:
The Committee for Construction and Real Estate Law (“ARGE Baurecht”) is a professional organization for lawyers specializing in private construction law, working to promote the professional and economic interests of its 2300 members. Under the umbrella of the German Bar Association it advises and guides legislators, helping shape the future of the field. As the publisher of Conciliation and Arbitration Rules for Construction Disputes (“SOBau”) it also contributes to the development of alternative methods of dispute resolution.
A central task of the Committee is the further training of its members. It hosts two conferences a year on current judgments and developments in the field, as well as seminars and workshops, including for paralegals and on communication skills. The Committee and its Young Construction Lawyers Working Group also place great emphasis on promoting young talent through courses for new colleagues and a mentoring programme.
