Real Estate Newsletter - Spring/Summer 2014
16 July 2014
Welcome to the summer edition of our Real Estate Newsletter, which will cover hot topics in the world of real estate and real estate financing. The guest article of the international insurance broker and M&A adviser Willis GmbH & Co. KG focuses on the topic "Warranty & Indemnity" insurance as a trans-action specific insurance solution. The W&I insurance generates significant added value to the M&A practice. It facilitates bilateral negotiations to conclude transactions successfully and offers high strategic benefits to sellers and buyers. Anette Gärtner and Mathias Klement provide background infor-mation on German copyright law and its implications for building projects. The authors highlight potential issues of dispute between the architect and the principal and, against that background, stress the importance of including appropriate contractual provisions to adequately balance the interests of the parties. In his chapter, Patrick Härle takes a closer look into the spirit and purpose as well as the validity of so called radius clauses in factory outlet centre leases and gives practical tips as to the drafting of such clauses.
