Seventeen practice areas.
One signature.
We accept few mandates, and we handle them in full, across the disciplines that corporate law in its full depth requires.
- 01
Mergers & Acquisitions
We accompany buyers and sellers through transactions that change a company, a family, or a wealth history. Share deals, asset deals, carve-outs, auctions, with the care that life's work deserves and the discretion the market expects.
- 02
Corporate & Group Law
The architecture every company rests on. Structures, shareholder agreements, governance models that hold, even when the wind turns.
- 03
Private Equity & Venture Capital
Stakes are trust relationships with a return logic. We structure funds, investments and exits on the sponsor side as on the portfolio side, and design management equity that still works in five years.
- 04
Joint Ventures & Cross-Border
Between an Austrian and a Spanish partner lies more than a translation. Different balance-sheet logic. Different negotiating culture. Different expectation of binding force. We build the bridge, legally, linguistically, culturally.
- 05
Restructuring & Distressed M&A
Crises require clarity, not volume. We accompany restructurings, distressed acquisitions and special situations with the awareness that behind every balance sheet stand people, employees and stories.
- 06
Foreign Direct Investment
InvKG in Austria, Ley 19/2003 in Spain, the EU screening regime. We guide transactions through the approval procedures, predictably, on the record, without surprises at closing.
- 07
Family Business & Succession
Family businesses think in generations, not quarters. We design family constitutions, foundation solutions and transitions so that the company carries on, and the family stays together. One of the most sensitive parts of our work. And perhaps the most beautiful.
- 08
Inheritance Law
Wills, succession agreements, waivers of compulsory share, international estate planning. The Spanish-Austrian succession follows two logics: Pflichtteil here, legítima there. We structure so that the EU Succession Regulation becomes an instrument, not a trap.
- 09
Real Estate
Acquisition, development, disposition, ongoing management. Residential, commercial, hotel, logistics. From single asset to portfolio. In Vienna as across the Iberian Peninsula.
- 10
Real Estate M&A
Spain is, for Austrian and German investors, the market with the highest real-estate exposure. We structure portfolio transactions, SOCIMI investments, hotel and resort acquisitions, from heads of terms to the notarial closing in Madrid or Barcelona.
- 11
Tax
We think tax not as a postscript but as part of the architecture. AT/ES double-taxation treaty, holding structures, ETVE, expatriation, transactional tax. In close coordination with our clients' tax advisers and auditors.
- 12
Trademarks & Patents
Trademarks are value, often the most underrated on a family business's balance sheet. We accompany filing, protection, licensing and defence in Austria, Spain and at EU level.
- 13
Incorporations
GmbH, AG, S.L., S.A., holdings, foundations. From the first stroke of the architecture to registration with the Firmenbuch in Vienna or the Registro Mercantil in Barcelona or Madrid, including shareholders' agreement, management appointment and initial tax structure.
- 14
White-Collar & Officer Liability
When pressure is highest, what counts is not volume but posture. We defend managing directors, board members and supervisory boards in cases of breach of trust, accounting offences, tax-criminal law, corruption and corporate criminal liability, with the discretion the client needs in those hours more than anything else.
- 15
Debt Recovery & Enforcement
We bring claims back, singly, in portfolios, across borders. EU order-for-payment procedure, European Enforcement Order, EuGVVO enforcement between Austria and Spain. Firm in substance, fair in conduct.
- 16
Litigation, Mediation & Arbitration
Dispute resolution at every level, negotiation, mediation, court, arbitration. VIAC Vienna, CAM Madrid, ICC Paris. We litigate where it is necessary, and settle where it is wiser. And we know which is which.
- 17
Contract & Commercial Law
Complex contracts are the structural engineering of the company. Distribution, licence, supply, consortium and cooperation agreements. NDAs, LOIs, term sheets, shareholders' agreements. We negotiate in the language in which negotiation happens.
First meeting
In person. Confidential.
Without obligation.
In Vienna, in Barcelona, or wherever it suits you. In the language in which you think.
