    KFR is Kirchhoff Franke Riethmüller – the Law Firm for Real Estate

    Founded in 2015, we advise in all areas of real estate and construction law in Hamburg and Munich.

    What can we do? Real estate transactions, project development, construction and architectural law, asset management, public law and dispute resolution. We have been working in these fields for years, each of us with a specific focus. Not everyone does everything – everyone does what they do best. When different areas are involved, we work as a team. We have been practising this for a long time. We particularly enjoy complex issues, because we can show what we are capable of. We look for solutions to questions, not questions for pre-made solutions.

    Efficiency is key: Our structure allows for focused work by the most qualified professional. We always keep an eye on effort and therefore costs. We want to help you – it is about your interests and needs. Nothing more and nothing less.

    Who do we work for? With pleasure – for you! Our clients are investors, project developers, construction companies, asset managers and the public sector. In short, anyone working professionally in the real estate sector. We aim to attract clients who do not want to compromise on the advisory quality of a major law firm, yet also appreciate flexible and pragmatic counsel.

    Comprehensive advice in the field of real estate law.
    Our focus

    A key focus of KFR’s practice. We provide comprehensive advice to our clients on all types of real estate transactions, particularly in the asset classes office, residential, retail and logistics.

    Our signature discipline

    The crown jewel of real estate law. We accompany our clients from the initial idea through to the realisation of the project, advising on all legal issues arising during development and the individual project phases. The tasks and challenges are diverse and always different.

    Our bread and butter

    The bread and butter of the real estate industry. Often neglected in legal advisory, we have deliberately made this a focus of our practice. Due to a high degree of standardisation in this area, we are able to offer very high-quality advice at competitive rates.

    Our exceptional talent

    No construction project without construction law. The creation, enforcement and preservation of building rights is one of our key areas of practice in public law. Beyond that, we advise on many further public law topics, particularly public construction and planning law. The cooperation and interplay between public authorities and developers or investors is of particular importance in this field.

    Our building block for success

    Construction is an exciting yet tension-filled business. Projects are often characterised by an exceptionally high number of parties involved, numerous interfaces, unforeseeable circumstances and therefore also high conflict potential.

    Our guiding principle


    Disputes are never ideal, but we can help when needed. Out of court and, if no other option remains, also before the courts, we represent our clients’ interests particularly in the areas of civil and public law:
