About

Provided by CERHA HEMPEL

CERHA HEMPEL advises across the full spectrum of public law, with particular expertise in regulated industries, environmental law, public procurement, healthcare (including clinics and pharmacies), higher education, consumer product regulation, as well as the energy and transport sectors.

The firm is especially renowned for its strength in public law litigation, both at the national and EU level. One of our firm’s key strengths lies in our ability to provide clients with seamless support in achieving their commercial objectives by offering comprehensive advice on all relevant legal and regulatory matters. This includes not only regulatory law but also intellectual property, EU law, and other closely related fields. Nearly all members of our Public Law team have in-depth expertise in compliance-related issues.

CERHA HEMPEL is among the very few Austrian law firms that provide public law advice not only at the national level but also in matters on EU level before EU institutions.

Our practice has a strong focus on advising public sector clients, including national and regional authorities, both within Austria and across the CEE region.
