Basics of Law
In the module, important legal contexts of the construction industry are taught.
Students will have knowledge of important legal contexts, the delineation of individual legal fields, the assessment of simple facts from corporate law and construction contract law in legal terms, the formulation of relevant questions to legal experts and the assessment of the complexity of technically oriented problems in relation to legal issues.
Essential focuses are:
- Differentiation of the individual areas of law
- Presentation of general legal principles
- main features of the German Civil Code (BGB), especially general part
- general law of obligations and typical contracts of obligations with a focus on construction contract law
- Basic features of real estate law
- Basic concepts of corporate law
- Introduction to construction contract law
- Teaching of the essentials of the VOB/B with reference to potential conflicts and on the basis of real case studies
- First basics of legal project and contract management for complex construction and development projects.

Risk and Chance Management
Based on an outline of five business processes, opportunities and risks in the implementation of a functional contract are explained. Both legal and construction aspects of the respective business processes are directly linked to each other through the lecture as an integrated lecture in such a way that concrete management recommendations are derived. Among other things, this also means that the participants are provided with checklists for working through problem areas and areas of activity in the respective business processes, which, in connection with the corresponding explanations, should also enable the safe execution of a functional contract.
Legal Contract Management
Introduction to legal project and contract management for complex construction and development projects, service profile of legal advisors, forward-looking analysis, preparation and solution of project-relevant legal issues, organisation and control, case studies.
