Legal Representation in Austria
Our law firm has been in existence since 1953. Nine lawyers advise and represent private individuals and companies of all sizes.
In addition, our law firm is also licensed in Germany. We are therefore particularly well suited as “translators” for Germans with legal matters in Austria.
Our law firm is fully digitalized. All meetings are possible via video conference and telephone. You do not have to travel to Austria for this.

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.
Based on our dual admission, we can say from experience: “Almost everything is different in Austria.“
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.

With our six locations, we are also geographically close to you. However, you do not have to travel to handle your legal matter: Our law firm is completely digitalized.
In everyday practice, we prefer to work via video conference. You will always receive an appointment at short notice – and save yourself the travel time. If an expert from another location or, for example, your tax advisor is also needed, we simply add them.
Upon special request, we also offer consultations via telephone. However, we generally believe that you should see your counterpart during legal consultations.
