William Redl is an excellent lawyer. It was a really good experience working with him.

Jochen Anweiler

Spotlight

Splitting his time between the firm's offices in Brussels and Vienna, Jochen Anweiler frequently advises clients on the notification of mergers before the Austrian Federal Competition Authority. He also has experience defending clients in investigations into allegations of possible anti-competitive behaviour.

Jochen Anweiler is very reliable and gives user-friendly, commercial, analytically strong, solid advice which is not overcautious and not excessively risky.

He works in Brussels and Austria, so he has an overview of the EU and Austrian systems in the most complex transactions and can apply how things are seen in the EU to filings in Austria.
