Janina Pochhammer

A member of Taylor Wessing’s practice area projects group, Dr Janina Pochhammer advises her clients on infrastructure and large-scale construction projects – including luxury yachts. She and her team have been involved in nearly 20 of the world’s 100 largest megayacht projects to date, including the M/Y Eclipse. She says the most important contacts in the sector are the shipyards, designers, suppliers and subcontractors. ‘On the one hand it’s an exciting and glamorous world involving attending events like the Monaco Yacht Show,’ she says. ‘On the other hand, it all comes down to delivering very fundamental technical, commercial and legal advice.’
