Our History: Pioneers in Pool & Wellness Legal Support
Building Technology Berning Law Firm (doing business as Pool & Wellness Legal Services Ltd.) is America’s premier business and legal counsel and regulatory compliance services provider to the wellness, pool, and spa industry. Our firm is based in the center of Los Angeles, where we have become the go-to law firm for private individuals and businesses alike. We have decades of sole-practice and focused expertise devoted within our core practice areas, which include the organization, financing, contracting, construction, operation, and litigation of wellness properties (pools, spas, saunas, etc.). Our practical, personal approach ensures that our clients are provided with full-spectrum, reliable, and innovative business and legal solutions for every phase of their project’s life-cycle.
Our Promise: Legal Help for the Lifestyle You Deserve
At Building Technology Berning Law Firm, we believe that every client is entitled to timely, expert advice on every stage of wellness area development. Whether building a private backyard retreat or overseeing large-scale commercial wellness areas, our clients should not become embroiled in legal ambiguities that can hold up project schedules and ultimately increase costs. Building Technology Berning takes the guesswork out of key matters related to wellness and building technology, helping our clients execute their projects efficiently and in compliance with all relevant law, policy, and procedures.

- Counsel on indoor and outdoor swimming pools, whirlpools, saunas, and infrared cabins

Custom Legal Assistance: How We Do It
Every client is unique and so is our approach. Every engagement begins with a consultation, where we take the time to listen to your needs and goals in detail. We offer legal services on a consultative, project-based basis, allowing us to tailor the scope and size of our support to meet the scale and complexity of your project. Whether you are a homeowner looking for guidance on adding and installing a backyard sauna, site manager overseeing a new hotel spa installation, or an architect designing a world-class wellness center complex, we develop legal strategies that proactively anticipate issues and add the most value.
For certain types of projects, like whirlpool installation, we offer all-inclusive bundles of services to deliver peace of mind and budget certainty. Our transparent pricing and unambiguous process, combined with appointment availability during non-standard business hours, means high-value service when it matters.
Our Clients: Private, Commercial, & Industry Professionals
Our clients come from a diverse range of backgrounds, but are all linked by excellence in wellness and building technology. We advise:
- Private clients creating or refurbishing personal wellness investment
- Commercial clients – hotels, day- and destination spas, amenity spaces and wellness centres – on compliance and mitigation of business risks
- Property developers and architects in need of expert legal associates for complex projects
- Businesses and individuals regarding legal advice for bathrooms and heating, air conditioning, and electrical installations
Whatever your background, we will provide the same commitment to clarity, efficiency, and legal expertise so that your project can go ahead with certainty and understanding.
