CTSP Legal is a boutique law firm dedicated to providing our clients with solution focused support in a selected number of areas where our expertise and networks are of particular benefit and set us apart.
Our mission is to provide personal, focused and pragmatic legal support and guidance as well as comprehensive and effective solutions, empowering our clients to navigate even the most complex legal challenges with confidence. Moreover, we want to be advocates for sustainability and help our clients achieve their goals while making a positive impact on the planet and society.
Our core values define who we are and how we operate. They guide every aspect of our practice, ensuring that we consistently uphold the highest standards of professionalism and client service while maintaining a high level of positivity and happiness across our team. These values include:
We recognize that for a law firm to be able to invest in resources and attract the talent required to provide top quality services to clients, profitability is important. But we do not accept it when a quest for ever increasing profitability is the defining characteristic for a law firm’s culture and operations. Instead, we believe in an approach that prioritizes building and maintaining long-lasting relationships and recognizes that successful legal representation must be based on trust and a deep understanding of the client’s needs and objectives.
Consequently, we take a personalized and client-centric approach to serving our clients and tailor our services to address the specific needs and goals of each client. Our approach involves:
We embody the essence of a boutique law firm by being dedicated to delivering solution-focused support with a personalized approach in carefully selected areas where our expertise and extensive networks offer tangible advantages to our clients. In this pursuit, we have identified three primary focus areas that align seamlessly with our core strengths: Construction • Emerging Companies, Growth & Internationalization • Climate & Sustainability / Impact.
We provide construction advisory services and representation in disputes to a broad range of stakeholders engaged in major construction projects, in particular developers, contractors, investors and lenders, and especially in the energy and infrastructure sectors, both in Germany and internationally.
We strive to be the steadfast legal partner that supports our clients' construction projects from inception to completion and beyond. We do this based on decades of experience dealing with the complexities of drafting and negotiating construction contracts and related project documents for major projects, as well as risk identification and mitigation, claims management, and dispute resolution.Recognizing that the construction industry demands comprehensive expertise and specialized support across a broad range of issues and jurisdictions, we also maintain and work closely with an international network of legally independent professionals and businesses who are providing relevant expert services as well as flexible project services, in particular in the area of contract and claims management.
Through our specialist experience and collaborative approach, we enable our clients to identify and mitigate risks effectively, manage their construction contracts diligently, navigate complex claims and even disputes scenarios with confidence, and protect their profits.
We advise entrepreneurs and investors at all stages of their business, including pre-formation, planning, formation, venture capital, debt financing and growth through additional equity financing (private equity), M&A transactions, strategic partnerships and capital market transactions.
We have a particular focus on the technology, life sciences and renewable energy sectors – home to the industries that drive the global growth and success of our clients' investments.
Our credentials include some of the fastest-growing young companies that the German economy has produced in their respective sectors over the past two decades.Internationalization, too, is a crucial strategy for further business growth and increased profitability. Structuring and negotiating international transactions or collaborations is usually complex and multifaceted. Venturing into international markets and managing or, where required, restructuring existing international operations, presents a myriad of legal complexities and challenges. Navigating these complexities and challenges requires an understanding of diverse legal systems, cultural norms, and business practices.
Having lived and worked as advisors, interim managers and even entrepreneurs in numerous jurisdictions across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as in the US, we have developed strong international expertise and cultural awareness. We are also well-versed in coordinating support and collaborating with independent professionals and businesses who are operating locally and provide crucial support in their respective jurisdictions.
We support businesses, investors (esp. asset managers and family offices), non-profit organizations and municipal as well as rural communities engaged in, or willing to engage in, initiatives and businesses that drive significant and scalable positive impact on the environment and society.
We provide our clients with legal advice and representation relevant to the legal conditions within which they operate, their transactions and financial strength, compliance with laws and regulations, and, where necessary, the legal enforcement of their rights. We also help our clients effectively communicate their messages as well as grow relationships that support their goals and values and align with their strategies for long-term success.
We have a proven track record in climate & sustainability / impact. Our involvement in this area started in 2006, when one of founding partners took on a leading role in the conceptualization and structuring of a number of impact investment initiatives. These included in particular one aimed at deploying decentralized water disinfection systems across South- and Southeast Asia and one focusing on advancing development in rural India by supporting social enterprises and other important enablers in relevant sectors, such as education and housing.
