Whether it is the purchase or disposal of companies or shareholdings – the firm’s advisory activities cover the entire range of possible transaction forms. The firm advises on all phases of the transaction, from the letter of intent, the structuring and control of the transaction to due diligence and contract creation, to post-closing.
The team ensures comprehensive M&A advice by drawing upon the experience of specialists from the areas of corporate, capital market, tax and employment, as well as cartel and competition law. An individual interdisciplinary team compiled based on the clients requirements and, when requested an international team, work hand in hand, thus ensuring tailor-made solutions – even with crossborder transactions.
Few Austrian corporate teams can demonstrate such equally strong offerings in the major Austrian business hubs of Vienna and Upper Austria. Our corporate group is unquestionably the leading corporate and M&A adviser in the latter. Our offices in Linz and Wels have acted in some of the region’s biggest ever transactions. Our rapidly growing Vienna office has established a market-leading corporate real estate offering and counts companies of the calibre of Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investment and UBM among its exemplary client roster.
