Ingeborg focuses on public law.

She advises and represents public authorities – including provinces, municipalities, and the national government – as well as private parties, including developers, investors, and institutions mainly in the real estate, energy and infrastructure sector. With a strong understanding of political and administrative dynamics, she navigates complex regulatory frameworks and decision-making procedures.

Her work spans administrative law, i.e. environmental law and nature protection. She has in-depth experience in spatial planning, renewable energy, land use, area and species protection, compensation for damages, subsidies, environmental regulation and compliance and other regulatory topics. A defining feature of Ingeborg’s practice is legal project management. She plays a key role in coordinating the legal aspects of complex projects related to the physical living environment – not only in real estate development (such as area development) but also in broader societal challenges such as the nitrogen reduction, the housing crises, and the energy transition. She seeks to ensurethat legal frameworks are properly integrated into public and private projects that must meet high administrative, environmental, and spatial planning standards.
