Three fields.
One signature.
We take few mandates and see them through entirely. Three fields that together describe the life cycle of a company and a fortune: enterprise and transactions, wealth and family, dispute and crisis. Led by the Founding Partner, in German, Spanish and English.
Build, acquire, hold.
Enterprise & Transactions
Companies change when their ownership changes. We act for buyers and sellers, investors and families, in the moments when a life's work becomes a contract, and a contract becomes a company again. One hand. Three languages. Two jurisdictions. From first term sheet to entry in the Firmenbuch or Registro Mercantil.
What we do
Mergers & Acquisitions
Share deals, asset deals, carve-outs, auctions. Buy-side and sell-side, from heads of terms to closing.
Private Equity & Venture Capital
Funds, investments, exits. Sponsor-side and portfolio-side. Management equity that holds for five years.
Corporate & Group Law
Structures, shareholders' agreements, governance that holds when the wind turns.
Joint Ventures & Cross-Border
Between Vienna and Madrid lies more than a translation. We build the bridge: legal, linguistic, cultural.
Foreign Direct Investment
InvKG · Ley 19/2003 · EU screening. Authorisation procedures without surprises at closing.
Incorporations
GmbH, AG, S.L., S.A., holdings. From first stroke to registration at the Firmenbuch or Registro Mercantil.
Transmit, protect, order.
Wealth & Family
Wealth is more than a balance-sheet entry. It is a story written by generations and meant to be passed to the next. We design transitions, succession arrangements and wealth structures so that the company endures and the family stays together. The most delicate task of our work. And perhaps the most beautiful.
What we do
Family Business & Succession
Family constitutions, foundation solutions, transitions. Internal tensions addressed early, not late.
Inheritance Law
Wills, succession contracts, waivers, international estate planning. Pflichtteil here, legítima there: the EU Succession Regulation as instrument, not trap.
Wealth Structuring & Foundations
Austrian Privatstiftung, Spanish and Liechtenstein structures, family-office constructions for families between the worlds.
Real Estate
Acquisition, development, disposition, management. Residential, commercial, hotel, logistics. From single asset to portfolio across Vienna and the entire Iberian Peninsula.
Real Estate M&A
Portfolios, SOCIMI stakes, hotel and resort acquisitions. From heads of terms to notarial closing in Madrid or Barcelona.
Tax & Wealth Planning
AT/ES double-tax treaty, ETVE, holdings, expatriation. Closely coordinated with clients' tax advisors and auditors.
Negotiate, defend, enforce.
Dispute & Crisis
When pressure is at its highest, what counts is not volume but composure. We negotiate at every stage: before the dispute, during the dispute, after the dispute. In court, in arbitration, in mediation. Where necessary we litigate firmly. Where wiser we settle. And we know which is which.
What we do
White-Collar & Officer Liability
Defence of managing directors, board members, supervisory boards: breach of trust, accounting fraud, tax crimes, corruption, corporate criminal liability.
Litigation
Commercial and corporate proceedings before Austrian and Spanish courts. Firm in substance, precise in writing.
Mediation
Shareholder conflicts, family disputes, post-M&A disputes. Structured, confidential proceedings.
Arbitration
VIAC Vienna · CAM Madrid · ICC Paris. Including ad-hoc proceedings under UNCITRAL rules.
Debt Recovery & Enforcement
European Order for Payment, European Enforcement Order, cross-border enforcement between Austria and Spain under EuGVVO. Firm in substance, fair in tone.
Crisis Situations
Restructuring, distressed M&A, special situations. When management must act in hours, not weeks.
First meeting
In person. Confidential.
Without obligation.
In Vienna, in Barcelona, or wherever it suits you. In the language in which you think.
