  Ingeborg Wind-Middel

  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. In all her work Ingeborg strives for sustainable, long-term solutions that are both legally robust and socially responsible. She is valued for her ability to provide clarity and structure in politically sensitive and legally complex processes. Ingeborg also represents clients in administrative proceedings, including cases before the Council of State and the Trade and Industry Appeals Tribunal. In addition, she regularly teaches and publishes on public and environmental law topics. With nearly 20 years of experience, Ingeborg is ranked as a Leading Partner by Legal 500, which praises her for having “outstanding knowledge in her field and knows how to translate this into practical advice.
