Corporate Law

The Corporate Law practice advises large Austrian and international groups, financial institutions and funds as well as family businesses and private clients on all aspects of corporate law.

Our lawyers have extensive national and international experience in, inter alia, the structuring, negotiation and establishment of joint ventures as well as in drafting and negotiating shareholders' agreements, articles of association, bylaws and compliance systems. 
In addition, we also regularly advise on complex corporate reorganisations and the implementation of restructuring measures such as national and cross-border mergers, demergers, contributions and conversions.

Of course, we also assist our clients with the preparation and implementation of shareholders meetings, management board and supervisory board matters and with corporate governance and compliance issues. We are equally happy to support our clients in daily corporate housekeeping matters.

Furthermore, we work closely with the Dispute Resolution Practice Group in order to bundle the expertise of our specialists in complex disputes with a corporate law background, both in and out of court (corporate litigation).

The lawyers of our Corporate Law practice do not only have excellent legal expertise but also a sound economic understanding. Therefore, they are often not only called upon to draft and negotiate contracts but are also involved at an early stage in the structuring of joint ventures and reorganisations, enabling them to provide comprehensive and long-term support for our clients' projects.
