We advise and defend clients in all areas of general criminal law, business criminal law and financial criminal law. Our team supports you from the very first investigative step throughout all stages of proceedings – from initial suspicion to acquittal.
Situations can arise in any professional context in which the assistance of a criminal defence lawyer is needed, often even before the first conversation with investigative authorities. In such cases, our broadly specialised team provides comprehensive advice in national and international criminal law as well as in secondary criminal law and represents clients in all phases of financial criminal proceedings.
The size and structure of our firm allow us to work either in focused one‑on‑one constellations or in coordinated teams, ensuring efficient and high‑quality defence strategies tailored to the complexity of each case.
Our in‑depth knowledge of the Austrian criminal justice system and our many years of experience in dealing with investigative bodies enable us to offer precise, effective representation.
Our commitment to staying up to date with legal developments is reflected in our lecturing activities and publications.
Our extensive forensic experience as defence lawyers is demonstrated, not least, by our involvement in nearly all high‑profile Austrian business crime cases brought before the courts in recent decades.
