Corresponding Attorney in Austria
Our law firm has been in existence since 1953. The fourth and fifth generations of lawyers now attend to the concerns of our clients.
With success! One location has become eight locations in Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Graz, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck as well as Munich and Frankfurt.
Austria <-> Germany
As a law firm with licenses in Austria and Germany, we are ideally suited to act as “translators.” One of our focuses is therefore the support of German clients and lawyers in cases in Austria and vice versa.

In cross-border legal matters, we advise against foreign lawyers working in Austria for good reason. The legal situation is too different even with elementary legal norms such as the Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure.
Sebastian RiedlmairHarlander & Partner Attorneys „Thanks to our dual admission, we can say from experience: “In Austria, almost everything is different.”“
Consensual Lawyer
German lawyers who become active in Austria due to the freedom to provide services and the lack of a language barrier incur a high liability risk. A mere consensual lawyer in the form of an Austrian lawyer does little to change this.
Hearing representation
For the same reason, we advise against German lawyers drafting lawsuits or pleadings and then sending an Austrian hearing representative to the hearing.
Corresponding lawyer
Ideally, however, a directly mandated corresponding lawyer should be involved.
It is recommended that our lawyers receive a direct mandate with the task of processing the entire file and conducting the correspondence with the clients via their in-house lawyers or company lawyers.
In this way, foreign clients have their usual law firm as a proven contact partner. Conversely, foreign law firms can also offer their clients a comprehensive service for Austria.
