Depending on the industry, market entry and operations may involve trade, supervisory, competition, consumer or sector-specific regulation. We identify relevant permits, notifications, governance requirements and authority interfaces.
Litigation & Disputes in Commercial Law
We represent businesses in contractual, shareholder, corporate and other commercial disputes. Our work includes court proceedings, interim relief, settlement negotiations, mediation and cross-border enforcement.
Corporate – Company Law, Formation and Governance
We advise on GmbH, FlexCo and other company forms, shareholder agreements, capital measures, management, joint ventures, restructurings and corporate housekeeping. International groups may require Austrian subsidiary or branch structures aligned with their business and regulatory needs.
M&A – Acquisitions, Due Diligence and Transactions
We advise on share and asset deals from structuring and legal due diligence through negotiation, signing and closing. Sector regulation, IP, privacy, technology and change-of-control requirements are integrated into the transaction process.
Intellectual Property in Commercial Business
Trademarks, software, content, know-how and trade secrets are often core business assets. We establish clear rights chains, draft licensing and development arrangements and address IP in financing and collaborations.

We combine ongoing corporate and contract advice with transaction and dispute experience, helping clients build structures that remain workable not only in normal operations but also during growth, conflict and exit.
