Austria

Our Vienna office is the largest law firm in Austria and acts as the headquarters for our regional presence in 13 countries. Vienna has always been a hub for CEE/SEE. In today's world, international and even global companies are the ties that bind Austria to the wider region. In this pivotal role, Vienna is still the gateway through which many companies tap into the potential of the region.

Given this history, it should not be surprising that we have built up such strong relationships and connections across Austria and throughout CEE/SEE. Knowing the real movers and shakers from the Balkans to the Baltic means real benefits for your business. Our contacts are your assets, helping you to anticipate opportunities, manage risks and achieve your goals.
